THE MOTION OF THE BODY THROUGH SPACE

From the Orange Prize-winning author of We Need to Talk About Kevin
All her life Serenata has run, swum, and cycled - but now that she''s hit 60, all that physical activity has destroyed her knees. And her previously sedentary husband Remington c
hooses this precise moment to discover exercise.

As he joins the cult of fitness, her once-modest husband burgeons into an unbearable narcissist. When he announces his intention to compete in a legendarily gruelling triathlon, Serenata is su
re he''s going to end up injured or dead - but the stubbornness of an ageing man in Lycra is not to be underestimated.

The story of an obsession, of a marriage, of a betrayal: The Motion Of The Body Through Space is Lionel Shriver at her hil
arious, sharp-eyed, audacious best.
