| book description |

When an albatross strays too far from its home, or loses its bearings, it becomes an â€˜accidentalâ€™, an unmoored wanderer. The protagonists of these eight stories each find the ordinary courses of their lives disrupted by an unexpected event and are pushed into unfamiliar terrain: a girl encounters her uncle in hospital, who was cast out of the family for reasons unknown; a menacing force hovers over a fracturing family on a rural holiday; a couple and their children inhabit a stifling world where it is better to be asleep than awake; a manâ€™s desire for a solution to his marital dissatisfaction has unforeseen consequences. Deft and disquieting, oscillating between the real and the fantastical,Â The AccidentalsÂ is the brilliant new book from International Booker-shortlisted duo Guadalupe Nettel and Rosalind Harvey.
