* A Sunday Times, Guardian and Financial Times -Book to Look Out For- 2025 *
It is summer, and Sebastian is in treatment following a breakdown that has left him with a fragile hold on reality and a persistent hunger to connect with the mother who abandoned him as a child.
His therapist, Martin, is also facing challenges, including his adopted daughter Olivia-s tenuous relationship with her biological mother - a predicament that makes Sebastian-s struggle feel uncannily close to her own. Olivia is producing a radio series on natural disasters, which itself seems to be running parallel to the events unfolding in her personal life, as her best friend Lucy faces a grave diagnosis and her husband, Francis, pursues his mission of rewilding the world.
