Claudia Hampton - beautiful, famous, independent, dying. But she remains defiant to the last, telling her nurses that she will write a 'history of the world...and in the process, my own'. And it is her story, from a childhood just after the First World War through the Second and beyond. But Claudia's life is entwined with others, and she must allow those who knew her, loved her, the chance to speak. There is Gordon, brother and adversary; Jasper, her untrustworthy lover and father of Lisa, her cool conventional daughter; and then there is Tom, her one great love.

When Charlotte is mugged and breaks her hip, her daughter, Rose, cannot accompany her employer, Lord Peters, to Manchester, which means his niece, Marion, has to go instead, which means she sends a text to her lover which is intercepted by his wife, which is…just the beginning of the ensuing chain of life-altering events.
In this engaging, utterly absorbing and brilliantly told novel, Penelope Lively shows us how one random event can change the courses of many lives.

"Pénélope, tu n'es pas ici par hasard. Tu veux vivre quelque chose, ton cœur brûle, ta tête t'assaille de réflexions, mais tu refuses d'aller plus loin, tu refuses de plonger. Tu restes spectatrice et tu rumines. C'est ça ton grand voyage ? Tu sais, chaque individu a un rôle à jouer. Chaque personne peut utiliser la force de son esprit pour devenir acteur de son existence et du monde qui l'entoure. Ensemble, à force de réflexions et d'actions, nous ferons de ces ruines un palais." Ceci est une odyssée. Un périple au cœur de nos doutes, de nos errances, de nos tempêtes.
