Jean Serjeant was a carefree country girl before the war, becoming a wise and trenchant old lady in the year 2020. Through this period, we follow her bruising experiences in marriage, her questioning of male truths and her adventures in motherhood, whilst finding the often unsatisfactory answers to life's questions.

Industry Reviews

Spanning impressively across nine decades, this overarching novel opens with the unforgettable image of an English fighter pilot who sees the sun rise twice in one day when on a reconnaissance high above the Channel in 1941. The sun then becomes an indelible metaphor for life and the questions it throws up as we follow Jean Serjeant from childhood, marriage and motherhood and on her travels to seek out the seven wonders of the world, and in turn, to arrive in old age at the seven wonders of life itself. A novel that bubbles with ideas about life, death, religion and immortality. (Kirkus UK)
