Description
David Carter's life has been built around an untruth. A careless word spoken by his mother's friend Julia sets him on a path to re-examine everything he thought he knew about himself and those around him. As he begins to catalogue the joys and disappointments of his own life, he hopes to find the same excitement in the artifacts of his past as he does in the museum where he works. Against the backdrop of post-WW2 Britain, Jon McGregor's novel explores what happens when our lives fail to take the turns we expect. David's story is one of regret, longing and the search for connection. As he delves into the stories of those around him, including a young Irish girl who arrived in war-time London with a secret, he begins to see his own life in a new light. There are so many ways to begin, and to live; so many ways to love, and not to love, and to start again. This is a deeply personal and introspective novel that explores the complexities of human relationships and the power of storytelling.
