Guardian Bookshop Notes:
Paperback edition of the latest novel from the author of "The English Patient" and "Anil's Ghost". Beginning in 1970s Northern California, it follows the lives of a makeshift family who are split apart by an incident of violence. A story of possession and loss, and the discordant demands of love and memory. 'Plumply imagined, deeply romantic but vividly traumatic... This novel bravely jostles the uncomfortable edges of literary storytelling' Alan Warner, "Guardian"
