Iosif Dzhugashvili is born on the day Stalin dies and is given his name by a zealous hospital official. Young Iosif grows up haunted by his great namesake, convinced that the dictator has found a new dwelling place within his chest, behind his heart. But when Iosif unwittingly destroys his family's happiness he is forced to question his lifelong loyalties to Stalin's ghost.

A startling debut... Andrea Nicholson has created a weird and compelling voice that somehow manages to be by turns unsettling, wise and pierced with regret. Nicholson's writing is psychologically astute, and intense with insight. --Guardian
This is a surprising, inventive, first novel. --The Lady
Supple, rhythmic and deeply funny. --Ivan Juritz, Literary Review
'A dreamlike debut novel' --Sunday Telegraph
