Beyond exploring Cody’s grief, this psychologically incisive book delves into her complex relationships with Tricia, her single mother Meg’s more conventional family and, most profoundly, the boy who stole and wounded Meg’s heart shortly before her death.

Her journey proves both enlightening and dangerous as she traces the steps Meg took during her last weeks of life.

Although Macfadyen is six foot three and barrel-chested, he’s not physically intimidating in the least when out of character. “The thing for me is the juxtaposition between what it’s like to work with Matthew and then what you see onscreen,” Oyelowo says.

Last year, when I took part in the Cheltenham literary festival’s annual Booker prize event – a classy balloon debate to determine who might have won the prize in the years before its invention – Murdoch’s The Bell(1958), championed by Madeleine Thien, only narrowly lost out to Chinua Achebe’s Things Fall Apart.
