Starting in a vividly and beautifully described Antarctica where a sudden storm puts an end to a routine field operation, the novel moves to Cambridgeshire and a baffling new world of brain injury recovery. McGregor uses words brilliantly to convey the broken mind and also the effects on all involved in a moving and totally convincing way - and with humour. It's an intriguing exploration of communication and the power and importance of self-expression.
