When Cecilia Truscott bumps into a man she hasn’t seen for nearly forty years in the Adelphi Hotel in Liverpool, she has no idea why he might have changed his name to Alex Ramirez - the last time she saw him he was a seventeen-year-old art student called Jimmy Rockwell. The meeting is pure chance, they both conclude - coincidence, nothing more. As the histories of the two main characters emerge, Cecilia’s superficially conventional existence contrasts with Alex’s opportunism and art forgery. But despite efforts and pretence, a secret he half-suspects from his troubled past eventually catches up with him. The Almost Chronicles is a collage of two interconnected lives: twin tales of the relentlessness of opportunities missed, taken, blown; a mosaic of differing degrees of separation overlaid by apparently random events.
