Produktbeschreibung

FROM THE AUTHOR OF 2024 BOOKER PRIZE WINNING ORBITAL

It's Jake's birthday. He has lost his wife, his son is in prison and he is about to lose his past. Jake has Alzheimer's.

As the disease takes hold of him, the key events of his life shift, and what until recently seemed solid fact melts into surreal imaginings. Is his daughter alive or long dead? And why exactly is his son in prison? There was a cherry tree once, and a yellow dress, but what do they mean? Is there anything he'll be able to salvage from the wreckage?

'Deeply original and captivating... [a novel] so full of urgent life that it rouses even as it terrifies' OLIVIA LAING, OBSERVER

'Brilliant... An extraordinary dramatization of a mind in the process of disintegration' THE TIMES
