Synopsis

Ursule lives the life of a kitchen skivvy in 1864 Paris. Dexter is an American GI in 1965 Vietnam. Dante is a Catholic priest in 2015 Palermo. For Ursule the Prussians are closing in. For Dexter it's the Vietcong. For Dante it is the mafia. How can they escape but, more than that, how can misery become rapture? In contemporary Britain a fourth person holds all the strings in his hands as he rises silently and gracefully above the earth. In this tour de force of imagination, Stuart Campbell follows the brilliant John McPake and the Sea Beggars with a tale that defies time and gravity and takes the reader to a place few have ever been and fewer still come back from.

A propos du livre

À propos de l?auteur

Stuart Campbell is the author of the contemporary travel book, Boswell's Bus Pass and the novel John McPake and the Sea Beggars of which Jo Brand said: 'A dark, comical story of seeming no-hopers which moves seamlessly between modern day Edinburgh and 16th Century Holland and opens up the world of those who struggle through life labelled as mentally ill to comic and touching effect.'
