At two minutes to six on December 27th 1908 the lives of three
people become inextricably bound together by the trajectory of a
snowball. There is ten-year old Dunstable Ramsay, intended victim
of the snowball, who, fatefully, ducks; his 'lifelong friend and
enemy' Percy Boyd Staunton, angered by their recent quarrel, who
hurls the snowball; and Paul Dempster, prematurely born when his
pregnant mother is struck by Percy's icy missile. Tracing the rich
and varied lives of these three individuals, The Deptford Trilogy
lures the reader down labyrinthine tunnels of myth, history and
magic in one of the most beguiling, clever and cunning trilogies
ever written.
