Morvern Callar works in a supermarket in a Scottish port town. One morning she finds her boyfriend dead, having committed suicide, and her reaction is a morally ambiguous coldness.

For readers of contemporary fiction interested in British narrative of the nineties and in unconventional narrative voices.
