Beskrivelse
The Sunday Times bestseller from the author of The Narrow Road to the Deep North. Winner of the Baillie Gifford Prize 2024! - From one kiss comes a chain reaction - a masterpiece of a memoir from the winner of the Baillie Gifford and the Booker Prize.
By way of H. G. Wells and Rebecca West's affair, through 1930s nuclear physics, to Flanagan's father working as a slave labourer near Hiroshima, this chain of events culminates in a young man finding himself trapped in a rapid on a wild river, not knowing if he is to live or to die...
'The strangest and most beautiful memoir I've ever read. Magnificent.' - Tim Winton.
'Flanagan's finest book.' Guardian.
'Flanagan's portrayal of his quiet, brave father and his loving, resilient mother is exquisite. His evocation of the texture of life in rural Tasmania is masterful.' - Daily Telegraph.
This book took me completely by surprise and is unlike anything I've read this year. Gripping, affecting, wholly original. I absolutely loved it.' - David Nicholls, author of One Day.
