'It's like this, Saul Adler.'
'No, it's like this, Jennifer Moreau.'
In 1988, Saul Adler is hit by a car on the Abbey Road. Apparently fine, he gets up and poses for a photograph taken by his girlfriend, Jennifer Moreau. He carries this photo with him to East Berlin: a fragment of the present, an anchor to the West. But in the GDR he finds himself troubled by time - stalked by the spectres of history, slipping in and out of a future that does not yet exist. Until, in 2016, Saul attempts to cross the Abbey Road again...

Recenzii
An utterly beguiling fever dream of a novel... Its sheer technical bravura places it head and shoulder above pretty much everything else on the [Booker] longlist
Writing so beautiful it stops the reader on the page
A time-bending, location-hopping tale of love, truth and the power of seeing... Increasingly surreal and thoroughly gripping
Exquisite... A brilliant Booker nominee
One of the big stories in English fiction this decade has been the return and triumph of Deborah Levy... You would call her example inspiring if it weren't clearly impossible to emulate
An ice-cold skewering of patriarchy, humanity and the darkness of the 20th century Europe
Charged with themes spanning memory and mortality, beauty and time, it's as electrifying as it is mysterious
Intelligent and supple...a dizzying tale of life across time and borders
It's clever, raw and doesn't play by any rules
Superbly crafted, enigmatic, tantalizing... Levy defies gravity in a daring, time-bending new novel... Head-spinning and playful, her writing offers sophistication and delightful artistry
One of the best books I have ever read
playful, consistently surprising...Levy brilliantly plumbs the divide between the self and others
