Gnuj & Alt

When Alt meets Gnuj, a woman twenty years younger, their worlds collide, turning everything upside down. Lonesome and married to a man living in another country, Gnuj allows Alt to get close to her and woe her into a love she would have never guessed she'd ever entertain. In his debut English novel, Edgar Smith stirs the waters of our thought fountains by questioning the influence of our upbringing, the people who raise us, the effects of our surroundings and the power of love. Ultimately, in the voice of Alt, the narrator of the story, the reader travels to the times of the characters' childhoods because, according to Alt, it is there where all the answers to our lives dwell.
