Complete change from Herron, but this is very good as well.
Written in bold, experimental and poetic prose, it features mainly 2 characters, Daniel Gluck an elderly German - I think Jewish war time emigree - and the much younger Elisabeth Demand (origin ‘du monde’) as Gluck explains to her.
They have become friends since he looked after her as a child, and explore all sorts together including Christine Keeler and the Profumo scandal, Brexit and an artist called Pauline Boty, the UK’s only female pop artist.
Really merits a re-read, very good.
