The bestselling, Booker Prize-winning author of The Sense of an Ending traces the life of a seemingly ordinary woman with an extraordinary disdain for wisdom. In this novel, Barnes follows Jean Serjeant from her childhood in the 1920s to her flight into the sun in 2021, exploring her pilgrimages to China and the Grand Canyon, a catalogue of 1940s sexual euphemisms, and glimpses of 21st-century technology.
