Shortlisted for the 2005 Man Booker Prize!
Read by an ensemble cast
A chance encounter forever alters a family's understanding of itself. An exhilaratingly inventive, thought-provoking novel from the author of Hotel World.
Barefoot, thirtysomething Amber shows up at the door of a Norfolk cottage that the Smarts are renting for the summer. Amber doesn't know them, but she talks her way in, telling lies, and stays for dinner. Eve, an author, thinks Amber is a student her husband is sleeping with. Michael, an English professor, knows only that her car broke down. Daughter Astrid, age 12, thinks she's her mother's friend. Son Magnus, 17, thinks she's an angel.
Gradually, Amber insinuates herself into the family. Dazzled by her seeming exoticism, the Smarts begin to examine the accidents of their lives under the searing lens of Amber's perceptions. When Eve finally banishes her from the cottage, Amber disappears from their sight, but not—as they find when they return home to London—from their profoundly altered lives.
Fearlessly intelligent, disarmingly playful, The Accidental is a Joycean tour-de-force of literary improvisation that explores the nature of truth, the role of chance, and the transformative power of storytelling.
Unabridged; 9 hours on 8 CDs

涉及当时很多社会问题，而这些问题到现在还在发生…挺有现实意义的小说，但叙事手法和Amber这个人物又比较虚幻。更喜欢Smith后面的几本小说。
