Fiction

The hotly anticipated new novel from the Booker-shortlisted author of Oxygen.

Clem Glass is a photojournalist. Then, in Africa, he witnesses the aftermath of a genocidal massacre and returns to London with the belief that people, including himself, are fundamentally wicked. The one close relationship Clem is able to maintain is with his older sister, Clare, who has been struck down by the return of a mental illness she had been free from for twenty years. But just as Clare begins to recover, news arrives that the man responsible for the massacre is under arrest in Brussels. ClemâÂÂs determination to confront the author of his nightmares sets in motion a startling sequence of events, and on his return to London he embarks on an inward journey that will lead to his own recovery.
