A thought-provoking literary mystery set across two timelines: a near-future world transformed by climate catastrophe and the early twenty-first century. The novel follows an academic's obsessive search for a legendary lost poem, a quest that gradually uncovers hidden relationships, long-buried secrets, and unsettling truths about the people behind a celebrated cultural moment. Blending speculative fiction, historical investigation, and psychological drama, McEwan explores the nature of memory, the limits of knowledge, and how future generations may judge the choices we make today.
