From the award-winning novelist & short story writer, Lionel Shriver, comes a literary gem, a story about love & the power of a gift. When Weston Babansky receives an extravagant engagement present from his best friend (and old flame) Jillian Frisk, he doesn’t quite know what to make of it – or how to get it past his fiancée. Especially as it’s a massive, handmade, intensely personal sculpture that they’d have to live with forever. As the argument rages about whether Jillian’s gift was an act of pure platonic generosity or something more insidious, battle lines are drawn… Can men & women ever be friends? Just friends?

This is a shaggy-dog story delivered without once drawing breath: a risky, nerve-wracking, extraordinary performance. The Star Factory of the title was an abandoned mill, full of Piranesian galleries & rusting machinery, which haunted the author as a child; roads converge on Belfast to form a stellar patter, in an ironic benediction of the city`s sectarian divisions. But the Star Factory is also a place of the imagination, where history & decaying architecture are turned into stories. & this is a book about growing up in a city that is full of stories, weaving in & out of each other as Carson explores myriad cities of his native town, diving down ”the wormhole of memory” into parallel worlds where religion, politics, & the sad magic of the dying shipyards & linen factories take manifold forms. ...
