## Description

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 cafe 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.
