Published in London by Hamish Hamilton, a Penguin imprint, on 15 November 2016 as a hardback, ISBN 9780241144152. The American first came from Penguin Press, New York, on the same day (ISBN 9781594203985), and Penguin also produced an export or international edition (9780735222472) and a UK trade paperback (9780241247310); none of these is the UK hardback first. Look for the Hamish Hamilton imprint on the title page and the earliest impression on the copyright page. The novel was longlisted for the Man Booker Prize in 2017, so a cover or sticker mentioning that is a later copy.
Read the full guide to Hamish Hamilton first editions, decade by decade, and check your copy's copyright page against it. Our number line decoder reads the printing from the row of numbers.
We have not yet confirmed the issue points that tell this first impression from later ones. Until we do, compare your copy's title page and copyright page with the publisher, place and year above: any later printing or edition statement means it is not this one.
