<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>"Priest writes extraordinarily well . . . his best novel to date . . . an atmosphere of increasingly oppressive menace." - Francis King, <i>The Spectator</i> <p/> "An original and haunting novel." - <i>London Times</i> <p/> "A brilliant and sustained novel of imaginative power." - <i>Vector</i> <p/> Peter Sinclair, a 29-year-old Londoner, is reeling after losing his father, his girlfriend, his job and his flat. Taking refuge in a friend's rural cottage, he tries to make sense of things and figure out where his life began to go wrong by writing an autobiography. <i>But it is possible that none of this is true ...</i> <p/> Peter Sinclair is a 31-year-old native of the city of Jethra in Faiandland who has just won the grand prize in a lottery: a trip to the Dream Archipelago, a neverending series of idyllic islands, where he will undergo a medical procedure that gives him immortality. Because the process also results in total amnesia, Peter must first set down all the details of his life in a manuscript in order to recover the memories afterwards. <i>But it is also possible that none of this is true ...</i> <p/> As the two narratives intersect and intertwine, the reader must decide what is real and what is not in this brilliant literary mindgame from Christopher Priest, the award-winning author of <i>The Prestige</i> and <i>The Separation</i>.
