Description
A body is discovered in the Thames, entangled in the chains of HMS Belfast, and the search that follows pulls together a policeman, a documentary film-maker, and an Irish nurse named Chrissie. As each character responds in their own way, London becomes a living map of chance encounters and overlapping lives—where relationships shift, histories surface, and the meaning of “home” is tested. With a polyphonic, fast-moving narrative, the novel explores migration, belonging, and the quiet forces that bind communities even amid uncertainty. Linda Grant’s distinctive blend of contemporary sharpness and Dickensian energy turns a single death into a wider meditation on exile, memory, and the places we carry with us.
