Imagine you give a dinner party, and a friend brings a stranger to your house, who seems pleasant enough. But then he locks himself in one of your bedrooms, and refuses to come out. Imagine you can't move him for days, weeks, months. If ever. This is what Miles does, in a chichi house in the historic borough of Greenwich in the year 2009-10. Who is Miles, then? And what does it mean exactly, to live with other people? The new novel from the author of }The Accidental{ is a funny and moving book about time, memory, thought, presence, quietness in a noisy time, and the importance of hearing ourselves think.
