An edgy contemporary novel by the award-winning author of The People's Act of Love.

Mr. Borman is孤d, still trying to recover from the death of his wife, Ada, and struggling to understand his adult daughter, Leila. He is on a train to London, following an invitation from the police. His goal is to meet Rafiq, a young man suspected of attempting to blow up St. Paul's Cathedral—and who had a close relationship with the Borman family.

Has the police set a trap? Tender and understanding, the novel follows Mr. Borman's journey into the mystery of a radical act and the true nature of his family. It raises the question of what a person leaves behind when they go, and how much of the past we can carry with us into the future.
