________________________ This was how I heard the most important
story of my life, the thing that decided me, the story that
determined who I was in the end. As snow begins to fall outside,
two strangers meet by chance in a bar. She is trying to make sense
of a life shaken by heartbreak and ruined dreams. He is on a
desperate quest to find something he lost in his youth. From the
blustery cliffs of Dover to the confines of a nuclear bunker; from
the courtroom witness box to the West End stage, he flits from one
life to another, never able to stand still. Extraordinary though
his story is, the secret she is keeping is even more surprising,
and will take them to a place neither of them - or you - expected.
From the bestselling author of FIVE RIVERS MET ON A WOODED PLAIN
comes this captivating novel about love, abandonment, and the power
of stories to help us find our way in the world.
