<div>From the Man Booker&ndash;shortlisted author of Carry Me Down comes &ldquo;an unflinching, absorbing, morally complex portrait&rdquo; of a man in search of himself (The New York Times). Patrick Oxtoby is a perpetual outsider who has always longed to find his place in the world. So when he&rsquo;s faced with yet another disappointment after his fianc&eacute; breaks off their engagement, Patrick moves to a remote seaside village to escape. But in spite of his hopes for a new and better life, Patrick still finds himself struggling to fit in. He can&rsquo;t shake the feeling that his new friends are conspiring against him, further fracturing his already fragile personality and prompting him to take a course of action that permanently alters his life. This Is How is a psychologically probing and deeply moving account of a man at odds with the world, and whose conflict with that unyielding reality leads to his own downfall. It is a masterpiece of inner tension that is &ldquo;bleak yet moving, mercilessly dispassionate yet shot through with kindness and wit . . . a profound achievement&rdquo; (The Guardian).</div>
