Penguin Books are celebrating the best books published in recent years by reissuing 36 titles with the classic Penguin jacket. The Accidental, a novel that explores the nature of truth, the role of fate and the power of storytelling is part of the collection.

Arresting and wonderful, The Accidental starts on in the Norfolk holiday home of the Smart family one hot summer. There, a beguiling stranger called Amber appears at the door bearing all sorts of unexpected gifts, trampling over family boundaries and sending each of the Smarts scurrying from the dark into the light.

'Fantastically complex, beautiful and special, The Accidental invokes a sense of universal rapture.'- Guardian

Paperback - 320 pages
