Add to basketPaperback. When the mind fractures, time listens. Emma is not lost-she has simply stepped off the map. After a sudden dismissal from her high-powered design career in Manhattan, she boards a plane to Tokyo to escape the ruins of her identity. But the city has other plans. In a quiet airport terminal, a surreal message appears on her phone-"Your country needs you." From that moment on, reality dissolves.Guided only by flickering green exit signs and an uncanny sense of purpose, Emma is drawn into a hallucinatory odyssey across eras and continents. She finds herself walking beside Roosevelt in wartime Washington, confronting Nixon on the eve of escalation, sharing jasmine tea with Reagan, and watching history crack in the eyes of Obama and Clinton. Each encounter strips away the myths of modern power, exposing the intimate machinery of ambition, legacy, and collapse.From Hiroshima's silent ash to a near-future America in flames, Perspective is a literary fever-dream-part psychological thriller, part time-bending political elegy. Emma's journey is not one of survival, but of revelation: a woman untethered from time, becoming witness, vessel, and voice. For readers drawn to the philosophical depth of Kazuo Ishiguro, the mythic surrealism of Murakami, and the socio-political layering of Don DeLillo, Perspective is a debut of rare imagination and haunting clarity.This is not a story about where we are. It's about how we got here-and what it costs to look directly at the truth. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability.
