Light Perpetual Av Francis Spufford

Longlisted for the Booker Prize 2021 <br/> <br/>'Dazzling.' The Times <br/>'Exceptional.' Guardian <br/>'Brilliant.' Observer <br/>'Extraordinary.' Financial Times <br/> <br/>November 1944. A German rocket strikes London, and five young lives are atomised in an instant. <br/>November 1944. That rocket never lands. A single second in time is altered, and five young lives go on - to experience all the unimaginable changes of the twentieth century. Because maybe there are always other futures. Other chances. <br/> <br/>From the best-selling, prize-winning author of Golden Hill, Light Perpetual is a story of the everyday, the miraculous and the everlasting. Ingenious and profound, full of warmth and beauty, it is a sweeping and intimate celebration of the gift of life.
