Description
Alexander MacIndoe's life begins with a February morning in 1944, amidst the aftermath of German air-raids. This is the starting point for Jonathan Buckley's novel, which spans the next fifty-four years and explores the complexities of one man's existence. Set against the backdrop of London and Brighton, Ghost MacIndoe follows Alexander as he navigates his relationships with those around him, including his glamorous mother, a pioneering plastic surgeon father, and an orphaned war veteran who becomes a significant figure in his life. The novel builds towards a romance that crystallises in the 1970s, marking a turning point in Alexander's journey. With its focus on one simple life, Ghost MacIndoe offers a unique perspective on the last sixty years of English history.
