towering achivement' Financial Times 'Inventive, bold, unexpected'

engaging is here: warmth, wit, intelligence, love, death, high

William Boyd's Any Human Heart has a novel captured the feast and
famine nature of a single life with such invention and tenderness'

Carrera is 'the hummingbird,' a man with the almost supernatural
ability to stay still as the world around him continues to change.
As he navigates the challenges of life - confronting the death of
his sister and the absence of his brother; taking care of his
parents as they approach the end of their lives; raising his
granddaughter when her mother, Marco's own child, can no longer be
there for her; coming to terms with his love for the enigmatic
Luisa - Marco Carrera comes to represent the quiet heroism that
pervades so much of our everyday existence. A thrilling novel about
the need to look to the future with hope and live with intensity to
the very end. THE NO. 1 INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER Over 300,000
