Description
A novel about what really matters in life from Louis de Bernières explores the idea that sometimes we must look to the past to survive the future. Q, a quantum cryptographer for the government, seeks a simpler and safer life after believing a crisis is imminent for civilisation. He buys a ruined farmhouse in Cornwall and begins to build his own self-sufficient haven, meeting eccentric characters who live on the moors nearby. As life in the cities becomes more complicated, Q flourishes in the wild Cornish countryside, reconnecting with his teenage children, ex-wife, and sense of identity. He also grows close to Eva, a woman committed to her own quest for love and meaning. In this entertaining and heart-warming novel, Louis de Bernières pokes fun at modern mores, encouraging readers to reconsider what is truly precious in their lives.
