Forthcoming this September in the US from Fitzcarraldo Editions, One Boat is “a novel of quiet brilliance and sly humour, packed with mystery and indeterminacy,” according to the Booker Prize judges, and it follows one woman’s “relationship to her mother, her involvement in an amateur murder investigation, and an account of a love affair.” We’ll be cheering for Buckley when the shortlist is announced on September 23 and the winner crowned on November 10.
