| book description |

'An outstanding novel' Observer 'A writer of blistering intellect' Los Angeles Times 'Unexpected and richly imaginative' London Review of Books 'A first novel of intricate merit ... A rich imagination glitters throughout' Mail on Sunday In the spring of 1914, German photographer August Sander captures a haunting image: three young men on their way to a country dance, themselves unknowingly on the brink of the First World War. This photograph becomes the focal point of Richard Powersâ€™ compelling debut novel. The fate of the three farmers is intertwined with two contemporary stories: a museum-goer becomes obsessed with the photograph, and a young writer in Boston discovers he has a personal connection to it. Seamlessly blended together, these three narratives depict a century scarred by savagery and fired by progress.
