Description
Zoe's job as a historian in a bleak, climate-ravaged twenty-third century is to record and archive the past, not recreate it. However, when she discovers the diaries of two individuals from two hundred years ago, she becomes fascinated by their lives and decides to write a novel about them, filling in the gaps with her own imagination. The story begins with Harry's car breaking down outside a small town in Norfolk, where he meets Michelle, who has just voted Leave. Despite their differing backgrounds, they form a connection that explores how class and social circumstances shape our ideas and change over time. This novel asks questions about what divides us and what brings us together. As Zoe writes her novel, she reflects on the world from her long perspective, which is different from ours today. The result is a thought-provoking exploration of how our perceptions are shaped by our surroundings and how we may be headed next.
