A novel about a man in the grip of a spiritual and emotional crisis, as his sudden revulsion from both his domestic life and the state of modern civilisation lead him on a desperate, dangerous quest for deeper meaning.
PRAISE FOR RUPERT THOMSON: 'Each novel he writes is a new vision of a new world; he's the least predictable, the most surprising of writers.' Philip Pullman; 'Hands down, Rupert Thomson is one of my favourite writers of all time. I impatiently wait for his new novels and he never disappoints.' Andrea Wulf; 'When someone writes as well as Thomson does, it makes you wonder why other people bother.'
