In this long-awaited novel by critically-acclaimed author Neil Jordan (Shade and Sunrise With Sea Monster), a man exchanges lives with ‘his double’ at whim.
“I had been mistaken for him so many times that when he died it was as if part of myself had died too.” Kevin Thunder grew up in 1960s Dublin, where he befriended a boy so uncannily like him that they were always mistaken for each other. Over the course of their lives, they exchange identities when it suits them, but find that taking on another's personality can lead to darker places than they had imagined. This novel is an extraordinary achievement – a comedy of manners at the same time as a Gothic tragedy, a thriller and an elegy.
