A chance encounter, a road accident, an air crash, a hold-up at a
bank: How do such events connect people? How do people see the
situations from their different perspectives? Three narrative
strands follow the lives of three individuals - Peter, Cathy and
Ivan - through the second half of the 20th century, from post-war
austerity and mediocrity in the 1950s and 1960s to the fast-moving
life-style of the present decade, whereby the plot is embedded in
real events of the period. The three biographies intersect at
crucial points, which reveals their internal landscapes and the
different ways of understanding reality. Things are not always what
they seem, and we do not always know the whole truth. Playing with
various time-levels, this novel of the mind deals primarily with
potential fallacies of perception, sexual awakening, emotional
exploitation and the proximity of death. How do we store the
memorable events in our lives? And how do we cope with these
memories as we grow older?
