Two books for the price of one! If you enjoy historical novels, this is one for you - and if you like a modern family drama, then this is also for you. The dual narrative shows how past and present interact, affecting not only how we look at the world, but also the way history impinges, day-to-day, on our lives. In this fusion of history and geology, Michael Redhill reveals a truly novel way of tracing the fault lines in family conflict.
