Summary

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 and is dead on their kitchen floor. Morvern's laconic reaction is both intriguing and immoral.

Morvern Callar Summary

Morvern Callar by Alan Warner

Morvern Callar Reviews

Brilliant, tender, a stylistic dazzler -- Hilary Mantel
A dazzling achievement * Time Out *
Morvern is a brilliant creation... more than a stunning debut novel; to my mind it establishes Alan Warner as one of the most talented, original and interesting voices around -- Irvine Welsh
Morvern is a compelling creation; elusive, enigmatic and opaque. Both ordinary and extraordinary, she gleams out like onyx from a vivid, macabre and lyrical book * Guardian *
Not since Camus' The Outsider has a voice with so many angles hopped and fluttered from the pages, has a note risen to chill in its opening breath * Scotland on Sunday *
