What could a ballerina, an anarchist, an Islamic terrorist and a banker possibly have in common? Our narrator, the enigmatic, piano-playing, rum drinking, Baron S knows. And he's ready to tell. Moving between the seventies and the present-day, between London, Italy and Surinam, Pauline Melville marshals a brilliant cast of characters to tell an explosive tale of greed, passion and revolutionary ideals.

Kate Saunders, Times 'A virtuoso performance.' Stevie Davies, The Independent 'Compelling.' Lavinia Greenlaw, The Financial Times '[Has] a wild energy that demands attention.' Hermione Lee, Guardian
