A new literary novel by the critically acclaimed author of The Prestige, Christopher Priest. A rich and involving tale of the creative mind, the rigours of living under war and the nature of time itself.
Alesandro grows up in Glaud, a fascist state constantly at war with a faceless opponent. His brother is sent off to war; his family is destroyed by grief. Occasionally he catches glimpses of islands in the far distance from the shore, and they feed into the music he composes--music for which he is feted. His search from his brother brings him into contact with the military leadership and suddenly he is a fugitive on the run--he seeks refuge on the islands and his endless travels take him through places and time, bringing him answers where he could not have foreseen them.
