Full description for Jack Maggs

• This tale of life in the criminal underworld of Australia and England was a surprise omission from the 1997 Booker Prize short-list. The paperback edition follows the release of a film version of "Oscar And Lucinda", Carey's previous Booker Prize-winning novel, which is to star Ralph Fiennes. "Carey's prose, as ever, is burnished to a high shine" Erica Wagner, "The Times".
