					<description><![CDATA[Add to the mix, a philosophizing one-eared cougar, an assorted cast of quirky locals who all have their own sad tale to tell, the almost comic-book villain in the shape of the eponymous 'Uncle', plus the beautifully sketched 10-year-olds Barnaby and Christie, and you have a book that keeps you gripped from the outset.]]></description>

In hardback, sat on our bookshelves, it taunted me. &#8220;I&#8217;m a Zadie Smith novel &#8211; full of intelligence, long sentences and esoteric concepts that you&#8217;ll never get round to reading.&#8221; After three years of owning the book, I finally got my head into the right frame [&#8230;]]]></description>
