Can you know your lover? Can you know your enemy? Or do you just imagine?
Like the world around him at the dawn of the twenty-first century, Adam Kella's life is showing distinct signs of falling apart. Against his better judgement, Kellas - divorced, unstable, spurned by his lover and by the world of letters - accepts a war assignment from his newspaper.
It is the beginning of a journey which takes him from the mountains of Afghanistan to the elegant dinner-tables of north London, the marshlands of the American South and, ultimately, memory of the beautiful, elusive Astrid, a fellow reporter in Afghanistan, offers him the possibility of hope.
With all the explosive drama of The People's Act of Love, James Meek's new novel spans continents and cultures. It is a timeless tale of folly and the pursuit of love, set against the incendiary politics of our time.
