Perfect
Rachel Joyce (Random House, $36.99)
In 1972, two seconds were added to time, so that the clock would come into alignment with the movement of the earth. In that moment of “no time”, Byron’s world was turned upside down.
Late for the school run, his mother drives down Digby Road – a route her husband has banned her from using – in her shiny new Jaguar. An accident occurs and Byron knows, sooner or later, someone will have to pay for it. With one storyline set in the present and the other in 1972, this haunting novel is filled with family secrets, and themes of control and prejudice. Beautifully written, Perfect is an absolute must-read.
