Ingenious Pain: the extraordinary prize-winning debut
Winner of the James Tait Black Memorial Prize and the International Dublin Literary Award
''Astoundingly good'' The Times
''Dazzling'' Observer
''Timeless'' Spectator
At the dawn of the Enlightenment, a man is born unable to feel pain. A source of wonder and scientific curiosity as a child, he rises through the ranks of Georgian society to become a brilliant surgeon. Yet as a human being he fails, for he can no more feel love and compassion than pain. Until, en route to St Petersburg to inoculate the Empress Catherine, he meets his nemesis and saviour.
