The extraordinarily moving, funny and original new novel from the author of the rapturously acclaimed BLOOM. You were born raging, Frances Frida Ripley. Thats what happens when youre born in a storm. Francess parents were not prepared for her birth: they had a blanket and an easel and some paint, but not anything useful, like a car or a phone. So its no wonder Frankie has always had a temper. She was born on a BEACH, in a STORM. What Frances was not prepared for was dying in a freak natural disaster that wiped out her whole town. Waking up 100 years later, Frances finds a whole load of new things to be angry about. And thats before the visitors start turning up, treating her home like its a tourist attraction. Which it is.
