Book Synopsis
Egypt, 1964. The great temple at Abu Simbel must be dismantled and resurrected high above the rising waters of the Aswan Dam. This daunting task is overseen by Avery, a young engineer who, at the same time, is carefully building a life with his new wife, Jean. But not everything can be saved once the floodgates have opened.

Trade Review
'Writing of dangerously beautiful intensity ... magnificent' Sunday Telegraph 'Michaels is a novelist of unusual and compelling power' The Times 'A rich, full book, written with the lyricism... a bigger, bolder, more confident version of her earlier work' Guardian 'Read this book like poetry, or rather hear it like music ... Anne Michaels guides us to the top of some extraordinary peaks of feeling and perception' Independent
