«Emotionally Weird» is the novel by Kate Atkinson, published by Black Swan in paperback (416 pages, in English).
Effie and her mother Nora settle into an old family house on a Scottish island and tell each other stories. Nora won't reveal who Effie's father was; Effie recalls her life in Dundee with Bob, an apathetic boyfriend. Soon strange things happen: someone follows her, the elderly die, everyone writes novels, and a yellow dog prowls the island.
