It is off-season in a remote Highland sea port: twenty-one-year-old Morvern Callar, a low-paid employee in the local supermarket, wakes one morning to find her strange boyfriend has committed suicide & is dead on their kitchen floor. Morvern`s laconic reaction is both intriguing & immoral. What she does next is even more appalling... This book is the winner of the Somerset Maugham Award.
