From the author of the internationally acclaimed Patrick Melrose books:
a major new novel exploring some of the biggest ideas and most pressing
questions of our times.
Double Blind follows three close friends and their circle through a
year of extraordinary transformation. Set between London, Cap
d'Antibes, Big Sur and a rewilded corner of Sussex, this thrilling,
ambitious novel is as compelling about ecology, psychoanalysis,
genetics and neuroscience as it is about love, fear and courage.
When Olivia meets a new lover, Francis, just as she is welcoming her
dearest friend Lucy back from New York, her life expands precipitously.
Her connection to Francis, a committed naturalist living off-grid, is
immediate and startling. Eager to involve Lucy in her joy, Olivia
introduces the two -- but Lucy has news of her own that binds the trio
unusually close. Over the months that follow, Lucy's boss Hunter,
Olivia's psychoanalyst parents, and a young man named Sebastian are
pulled into the friends' orbit, and not one of them will emerge
unchanged.
Expansive, playful and compassionate, Double Blind investigates themes
of inheritance, determinism, freedom, consciousness, and the stories we
tell about ourselves. Most of all, it is a perfect expression of the
interconnections it sets out to examine, and a moving evocation of an
imagined world that is deeply intelligent, often tender, curious, and
very much alive.
