Trudy has betrayed her husband, John. She's still in the marital home – a dilapidated, priceless London townhouse – but not with John.

But there is a witness to their plot: the inquisitive, nine-month-old resident of Trudy's womb.Told from a perspective unlike any other, Nutshell is a classic tale of murder and deceit from one of the world’s master storytellers.
