Publisher's Summary
Brought to you by Penguin.
This was how I heard the most important story of my life, the thing that decided me, the story that determined who I was in the end.
At a hotel bar in a quiet English town, two strangers meet by chance and share their stories. Hers is of an inconspicuous life, shaken by heartbreak and scattered with unfulfilled dreams. His is a dizzying tale of an unending quest for someone he lost in his youth.
From the blustery cliffs of Dover to the confines of a dark prison cell; from the courtroom witness box to the West End stage, we join him as he slips through time.
Extraordinary though his story is, what she has to reveal is even more surprising and will take them to a place neither of them - or you - expected.
From the best-selling author of Five Rivers Met on a Wooded Plain comes this captivating novel about love, abandonment and the power of stories to help us find meaning in a confusing world - a world that can sometimes threaten to overwhelm us, but one that is rich with possibility and always full of wonder.
What the critics say
"Shot through with compassion...this dreamlike, winding tale is a joy." (A. L. Kennedy)
