After all, it's not like they're going to find the fake boy. But a few weeks later, Kidder receives a call to collect his nonexistent son from the police station, a boy who looks exactly like the picture he photoshopped...

Beyond Kidding Reviews

By turns devastating and hilarious, Lynda Clark's Beyond Kidding had me from the very start, and it didn't let me go.' - Sarah Jackson, author of 'Pelt' and winner of the Seamus Heaney Prize 2013; `A dark and quirky debut - funny, sad, thought-provoking and unexpected.' - Emma D'Costa, Commonwealth Writers
