About this listen

From “one of the most gifted novelists of his generation” (Time), Other People is a tale about a woman’s path toward self-actualization.

"[Narrator Stephanie] MacGaraidh's performance captures the speech patterns and accents of the despicable characters with chilling clarity...Precise and provocative, MacGaraidh's narration deepens the novel's unsettling atmosphere." — Kirkus

A woman wakes in an emergency room and remembers nothing—not even her own name. She hears a song about a “Mary” and a “lamb,” and decides to call herself this—Mary Lamb—until she can discover more about her past.

While trying to unravel the mystery of herself, Mary meets a host of characters—a troubled woman named Sharon, a police officer named Prince who seems to know who she is, a man who works at the same café as Mary and is deeply infatuated with her. But Mary doesn’t know whom she can trust—if anyone at all.

In this luminous, electrifying novel, Martin Amis crafts a brilliant metaphysical mystery about the destruction and creation of one woman.
