Nora, at first, recounts nothing that Effie really wants to hear, like who her father was - variously Jimmy, Jack, or Ernie. Effie tells of her life at college in Dundee, where she lives in a lethargic relationship with Bob, a student who never goes to lectures, seldom gets out of bed, and to whom the Klingons are as real as the French and more.Publisher: Transworld Publishers LtdAuthor(s): Kate AtkinsonNumber of pages: 496Publication date: 2001Dimensions: 195 x 130 x 28Cover type: Paperback / softback
