In Andrew Miller’s third novel, four people reach a turning point - and each is forced to take part in an act of liberation.
In the summer of 1997, four people realise that the time has come to assess what matters in life. Each will be given a chance to break free from the past: Alice Valentine, who lies gravely ill in her West Country home; her two sons, one still searching for a sense of direction, the other fighting to keep his career and marriage afloat; and László Lázár, who leads a comfortable life in Paris yet is plagued by his memories of the 1956 Hungarian uprising.
