The new novel from the Booker shortlisted author of The Northern
Clemency An order is issued. A population may not meet, or touch or
speak to each other. They stay inside, and the reality of a few
streets in a capital city emerges. An underground river is
discovered; an urban grove of pomeloes emerges. The imagination
reaches out, and makes sense of the world. By the sea, two men walk
into a future of uncertain violence. There is time now to see the
human dramas within a hundred yards (an abduction, a quiet
breakdown, an outbreak of violence, a young mind beginning to
stretch itself); to wait for the weather to change; to understand
that what lies underneath this part of the city are seasonally wet
pastures and woodlands. Written in four parts, To Battersea Park
explores the strata and sediment of a single place and time. It
shows what brings us together, through love, through the clashes of
what we want to do and what the world wants to do with us. Set in a
large crowded city where we are forbidden to approach strangers,
this is about what we share: humanity, imagination, and the love
that emerges from many acts of telling.
