'Moving and unconventionally wise.' Guardian
________________________

This was how I heard the most important story of my life, the thing that decided me, the story that determined who I was in the end.

As snow begins to fall outside, two strangers meet by chance in a bar. She is trying to make sense of a life shaken by heartbreak and ruined dreams. He is on a desperate quest to find something he lost in his youth.

From the blustery cliffs of Dover to the confines of a nuclear bunker; from the courtroom witness box to the West End stage, he flits from one life to another, never able to stand still.

Extraordinary though his story is, the secret she is keeping is even more surprising, and will take them to a place neither of them - or you - expected.

From the bestselling author of FIVE RIVERS MET ON A WOODED PLAIN comes this captivating novel about love, abandonment, and the power of stories to help us find our way in the world.
