Francis Spufford: Light Perpetual

Longlisted for the Booker Prize 2021 and Winner of the RSL Encore Award, this extraordinary novel from the acclaimed author of Golden Hill is a masterclass in storytelling.

Set against the backdrop of November 1944, when a German rocket strikes London, the story begins with a harrowing moment: five young children are lost in an instant. From this tragedy, the novel imagines the lives they might have led, exploring alternate futures shaped by the twentieth century’s unimaginable changes.
