Book Overview

by Martin Amis (Author)

From "one of the most gifted novelists of his generation" (Time), Other People is a tale about a woman's path toward self-actualization.

A woman wakes in an emergency room and remembers nothing--not even her own name. She hears a song about a "Mary" and a "lamb," and decides to call herself this--Mary Lamb--until she can discover more about her past.

While trying to unravel the mystery of herself, Mary meets a host of characters--a troubled woman named Sharon, a police officer named Prince who seems to know who she is, a man who works at the same café as Mary and is deeply infatuated with her. But Mary doesn't know whom she can trust--if anyone at all.

In this luminous, electrifying novel, Martin Amis crafts a brilliant metaphysical mystery about the destruction and creation of one woman.
