Summary
The Sunday Times Bestseller from the Winner of the Booker Prize
She will change the way you see the world . . .
'I'll remember Elizabeth Finch when most other characters I've met this year have faded' The Times
Elizabeth Finch was a teacher, a thinker, an inspiration. Neil is just one of many who fell under her spell during his time in her class. Tasked with unpacking her notebooks after her death, Neil encounters once again Elizabeth's astonishing ideas on the past and on how to make sense of the present.
But Elizabeth was much more than a scholar. Her secrets are waiting to be revealed . . . and will change Neil's view of the world forever.
'Enthralling . . . A connoisseur and master of irony himself, [Barnes] fills this book with instances of its exhilarating power' Sunday Times
'A lyrical, thoughtful and intriguing exploration of love, grief and the collective myths of history' Booklist

Reviews
[Barnes] is always clever, often original and unusually funny... Elizabeth Finch...offers plenty to chew on...with barely a sentence in it that doesn't have some nutritional value.
John Self, The Times
