The larger-than-life novel that redefined the coming-of-age genre, Brother of the More Famous Jack is Trapido's highly acclaimed debut

Sparky Christina and her gifted adopted sister Pam, forceful, motherless Jago and strangely weightless Peter, embark on a dazzling series of pairings and partings, outrageous coincidences and eleventh-hour entrances. As Christina analyses the wit, cruelty and crossed genders of Shakespearean comedy, their own lives are also entering the last act.

Lydia is killed in a car accident, but she returns to her bereft sister as a benign ghost who, nonetheless, comes to haunt the lives of those around her in unexpected ways: Jonathan Goldman, whose flat Lydia is running from when she is knocked down, and his daughter Stella, who discovers her father's affair with the gladiatorial Sonia.
