Description
A brother and sister lost and found, in a novel that seizes your heart and enthrals your mind, from the author of the Patrick Melrose series.
Perhaps the most brilliant English novelist of his generation - Alan Hollinghurst
“We set off in opposite directions and walked around the world until we met, and I'm very pleased we have...”
Sebastian is in treatment following a breakdown that has left him with a fragile hold on reality and a hunger to connect with the mother who abandoned him. His therapist, Martin, also faces challenges, including his adopted daughter Olivia's tenuous relationship with her biological mother. Olivia, meanwhile, is producing a radio series on natural disasters, which itself seems to be running parallel to the events unfolding in her personal life.
Over a year, their fates collide and each of their destinies is revealed in a marvellous new light.
