An exquisite, genre-defying new book from the Booker Prize-winning author of The Narrow Road to the Deep North, a reckoning with the author's life and family, and the role of fiction in our times

"A spectacular mixture of fierce energy and then control, care. It is a kind of reckoning, Richard Flanagan with his father and his mother, Tasmania with its past, Japan with its past, the author with himself. It seems to me a book that will have an overwhelming effect on readers." --Colm T ib n, author of Long Island

Sometimes I wonder why we keep returning to beginnings--why we seek the single thread we might pull to unravel the tapestry we call our life...

By way of H. G. Wells and Rebecca West's affair through 1930s nuclear physics to Flanagan's father working as a slave laborer near Hiroshima when the atom bomb is dropped, this daisy chain of events reaches fission when Flanagan as a young man finds himself trapped in a rapid on a wild river not knowing if he is to live or to die.

At once a love song to his island home and to his parents, this hypnotic melding of dream, history, place and memory is about how our lives so often arise out of the stories of others and the stories we invent about ourselves.
