From âone of the most gifted novelists of his generationâ (Time), Other People is a tale about a womanâs path toward self-actualization.
A woman wakes in an emergency room and remembers nothingânot even her own name. She hears a song about a âMaryâ and a âlamb,â and decides to call herself thisâMary Lambâuntil she can discover more about her past.
While trying to unravel the mystery of herself, Mary meets a host of charactersâa troubled woman named Sharon, a police officer named Prince who seems to know who she is, a man who works at the same cafÃĐ as Mary and is deeply infatuated with her. But Mary doesnât know whom she can trustâif anyone at all.
In this luminous, electrifying novel, Martin Amis crafts a brilliant metaphysical mystery about the destruction and creation of one woman.
