A Time to Every Purpose Under Heaven

Puff

Karl Knausgaard’s extraordinary novel spans time from just after the Creation to the present day. In Renaissance Italy a young boy’s chance encounter with two angels leads him to a lifelong study of the heavenly beings… and an examination of whether the nature of the divine is fixed or changeable.

A Time to Every Purpose Under Heaven is a startlingly original work that debates the nature of the relationship between humanity and divinity.

Our Price: £9.49.

Metro Book Club for November: The Accidental by Ali Smith

Metro Book Club
The Accidental
November's Metro Book Club title is The Accidental, the third novel by two-time Man Booker-shortlisted author Ali Smith. It tells the story of a family thrown into disarray by the intervention of a mercurial woman named Amber. The Smarts are a troubled clan; mother Eve focused on her writer's block, father Michael a chronic philanderer and the kids, Astrid and Magnus, each wrapped up in their own worlds. Beneath the text of Ali Smith's Whitbread-winning virtuoso novel lies a debate about truth and consequences and a history of the cinema.
