While her glamorous grandmother dreams of Coney Island and her mother goes AWOL in the Welsh mountains, young Kate Happy must wrestle with the ghosts at Happy Farm. These are ghosts that want to tell her the secrets of her grandmother and mother's pasts: ghosts that want her to find her father's ashes in the attic; ghosts that urge her to find her true love. Shortlisted for the Wodehouse Bollinger Prize and crackling with the darkest of dark humour, Happy Accidents is a wonderful novel that confirms Tiffany Murray as a star of British Fiction.

Praise for TIFFANY MURRAY’S Happy Accidents

‘A winner. If Happy Accidents is anything to do by, it won’t be long before reviewers start turning to Tiffany Murray’s books when they’re in search of a yardstick.’ Guardian

‘Woody Allen visits Cold Comfort Farm’ Boyd Tonkin

‘Witty, romantic and irreverent. Inventive, funny and affecting.’ Daily Mail

‘Murray uses language this is simultaneously inventive and unobtrusive … She writes with a lightness and sureness … and has shown she is a writer of singular felicity.’ Independent

‘Along with whip-cracking dialogue, it is quirky images that are Murray’s forte.’ Observer

‘Murray manages to counterpoint beautifully the loveless, the perverse and even the wicked with all that is tender and true in human relationships.’ Time Out

‘Big laughs and a creative audacity.’ The Telegraph

'Tiffany Murray’s borders novel uses black humour both to defuse and to heighten the growing pains of her protagonist, Kate Happy. Murray has a wonderful ear for voice and dialogue... she explores intercultural British/American, provincial/metropolitan relations in an assured piece of work that goes far beyond its humorous surface to raise some serious questions about Anglo-American identity and Empire.’ New Welsh Review
