+ Want to read

From one of Britain's best science fiction writers comes a moving new novel. Mick Rose is a drifter who currently works in a shady waste-disposal job. At a friend's wedding he falls for a younger woman who dreams of flying. Their story is a beautiful, heart-rending tale of a future that is nearly upon us and of dreams that will always be distant.
