, A Jigsaw in Exile invites readers to piece together the fragmented lives of strangers orbiting one emotionally elusive man in a richly imagined tale of magic realism and psychological intrigue.
Set in London at the turn of the 1990s—an era pulsing with affluence, deprivation, and cultural collision—A Jigsaw in Exile paints a vivid portrait of a city as complex as the people within it. At its heart is Robert, a man whose magnetic presence is both compelling and confounding. He appears briefly and vanishes often, yet leaves an indelible impression on the eclectic cast of characters who cross his path. Through their intimate testimonies, the image of Robert—both mystical and mundane—emerges like pieces of a scattered puzzle waiting to be assembled
