Recommended on the iBookstore
A brilliantly told and beautifully written novel that defies categorisation, Under the Skin introduces Isserley, a woman obsessed with picking up male hitchhikers - so long as they're well-muscled and alone. But why? As the story unfolds and the reason is made explicit, the reader is drawn inexorably into a completely unexpected and increasingly terrifying world. From the author of The Crimson Petal and the White. iBooks are sold exclusively by Apple UK and can only be read on an iPad, iPhone or iPod touch with the iBook app.

Reviews
'The real triumph is Faber's restrained, almost opaque prose. This is a man who could give Conrad a run at writing the perfect sentence.'
Guardian
