Heather O’Grainne is the assistant secretary in the Office of Future Threat Assessment, investigating rumors surrounding something called “Daybreak.” Part philosophic discussion, part international terrorist faction, and part artists’ movement, it’s a group of diverse people with radical ideas who have only one thing in common — their hatred for the Big System and their desire to take it down. Until Heather can determine whether these people are all talk and no action, she wants to keep this information from going public.

главный герой, Грэм, уходит от жены, потому что влюбился в Энн, но после свадьбы начинает мучаться от чудовищной ревности. Его любовь превращается в настоящую одержимость, а мысли о прошлых любовниках жены не дают ему покоя. Трагедия Грэма выглядит комично—в саркастическом изложении автора он выглядит мелочным и жалким, и мы поневоле начинаем задумываться: кто же всё-таки прав в этом браке? Могут ли такие разные люди достичь счастья? И существует ли выход из конфликта, в котором, казалось бы, они безнадежно увязли?

Barnes conducted an experiment in his own business, the New Zealand trust company Perpetual Guardian, and asked his staff to design a four-day week that would permit them to meet their existing productivity requirements on the same salary but with a 20 percent cut in work hours.

Лауреат Букеровской премии Джулиан Барнс — один из самых ярких и оригинальных прозаиков современной Британии, автор таких международных бестселлеров, как "Одна история", "Шум времени", "Предчувствие конца", "Артур и Джордж", "История мира в 10½ главах", "Попугай Флобера" и многих других. Возможно, основной его талант — умение легко и естественно играть стилями и направлениями. Тонкая стилизация и едкая ирония, утонченный лиризм и доходящий чуть ли не до цинизма сарказм, агрессивная жесткость и веселое озорство — Барнсу подвластно все это и многое другое.
