Emotionally Weird is the third novel by Kate Atkinson.

The novel begins with chapter one of a murder mystery set in a seaside resort.

This tale is later revealed as being written by Euphemia (Effie) Stuart-Murray as part of a creative writing class at the University of Dundee in 1972.

This main narrative is in fact being told by Effie to her presumed mother Nora on a remote Scottish Island in return for which Effie hopes to entice from Nora the truth about her family history and parentage...
