PopCo

Alice Butler has been receiving some odd messages - all anonymous, all written in code. Are they from someone at PopCo, the profit-hungry corporation she works for? Or from Alice's long lost father? Or has someone else been on her trail? The solution, she is sure, will involve the code-breaking skills she learned from her grandparents and the key she's been wearing round her neck since she was ten. PopCo is a grown-up adventure of family secrets, puzzles, big business and the power of numbers.

    One word. Fabulous.

    Ok, I loved The End of Mr Y and Going Out. Both books were thoroughly immersive and great reads. Popco is no exception and shows once again that Scarlett Thomas is truly one of the greatest talents in British Fiction writing and actually there is no better publisher for her to be with than Canongate - a company I regard as one of the best publishers of modern Fiction. Popco is about codes, being a little different, focus groups, love, tiny details, marketing, kids, tea, smoking, night trains and load sof other stuff. The best comparison to Popco is not a book but a film. If you loved Amelie, then you will love Popco.
