Description for Girl Reading Paperback. * A dazzlingly inventive debut, which Hilary Mantel has called wise, poised, and utterly original, out now in paperback Num Pages: 352 pages. BIC Classification: FA. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 203 x 147 x 22. Weight in Grams: 236.

A woman reading in a Shoreditch bar catches the eye of a young man who takes her picture, and a Victorian medium holds a book that she barely acknowledges while she waits for the exposure.
