Description
November 1944. A German rocket strikes London, and five young children are atomised in an instant. This is the moment that could have changed the course of their lives forever.
Francis Spufford's novel explores the possibilities of what might have been, had these children experienced the unimaginable changes of the twentieth century. The result is a powerful and moving exploration of the human experience, and the preciousness of life itself.
With its unique blend of historical insight and imaginative storytelling, Light Perpetual is a book that will stay with you long after you finish reading it.
