Description
Apollo Kagwa's life has always been marked by loss and uncertainty. His father vanished when he was a child, leaving behind only a mysterious box labelled 'Improbabilia'. Now, as a successful book dealer, he's built a new life with his wife Emma and their baby. But as the pressures of parenthood take hold, Apollo begins to question everything. Emma's behaviour becomes increasingly erratic, and one day she commits an unthinkable act that sets Apollo on a quest through a world that's rapidly falling apart. As he searches for a wife and child he no longer recognises, Apollo must confront the darkness at the heart of his own family. A powerful exploration of parenthood, love, and humanity in our increasingly anxious times, The Changeling is a story about the raw, brutal beauty of human connection.
