GUARDIANThe triumphant new novel from the author of the Orange
Prize-winning Fugitive Pieces: a soaring and luminous story of
chance and
change_________________________________________________1917. On a
battlefield near the River Escaut, John lies in the aftermath of a
blast, unable to move or feel his legs. Struggling to focus his
thoughts, he is lost to memory - a chance encounter in a pub by a
railway, a hot bath with his lover on a winter night, his childhood
on a faraway coast - as the snow falls. 1920. John has returned
from war to North Yorkshire, near another river - alive, but not
still whole. Reunited with Helena, an artist, he reopens his
photography business and endeavours to keep on living. But the past
erupts insistently into the present, as ghosts begin to surface in
his pictures: ghosts whose messages he cannot understand. So begins
a narrative that spans four generations, moments of connection and
consequence igniting and re-igniting as the century unfolds. In
luminous moments of desire, comprehension, longing, transcendence,
the sparks fly upward, working their transformations decades later.
Held is a novel like no other, by a writer at the height of her
powers: affecting and intensely beautiful, full of mystery, wisdom
and compassion.'I am blown away by the scale, beauty, weave and
thinking of this book ... It dances with words, time and ideas in a
way that seems to reinvent everything I know about the novel'
