Alice is the youngest of three daughters and the black sheep of her family. About to turn thirty, she has never made a success of her life the way her two older sisters have, and since her mother's death, she has felt shut out of the closeness they have developed with their father. She has been in love for years with a man who refuses to marry her, and when she finally breaks off the relationship she heads off to Mongolia with nothing more than a backpack. Because of this she is later to hear the news that her father is dying, and returns to the family home in London only just in time to say good-bye. Daniel is called many things--tramp, bum, lost. He hasn't had a roof over his head for years but he once had a steady job and a passionate love affair with a woman he's never forgotten. To him, the city of London has come to be like home in a way that no bricks and mortar dwelling ever was. He makes sculpture out of the objects he finds on his walks throughout the city--bits of string and scraps of paper, a child's hair tie, and a lost earring--and experiences synesthesia, a condition that causes him to see words as colors. As he enters his fifties his health is faltering, but he kept alive by the knowledge of one thing--that he has a daughter somewhere in the world, whom he has never been able to find. Sarah Butler runs a consultancy that develops literature and arts projects that explore and question our relationship to place. This novel will be published in fourteen languages around the world.
