The Story

Baritone Bay, mid - afternoon. Celine and Joseph, married, middle - aged, are lying naked on the coast. They had met and first had sex there as students almost 30 years before. Now they hope to rediscover and rekindle passion in the dunes. But this will be a day for death as well as kisses, a day when murder and eternity will fail to put an end to love... 'Astonishing... [a] brilliant novel... Jim Crace is a true original... Looked at through his eyes, nothing is as we had thought ' Daily Telegraph 'A triumph... one of the most distinctive and talented writers of our time... This is a work of near - genius ' Literary Review
