About this book
A civil servant takes a discreet, well-paid job as a "bridge": housing and acclimatising a person extracted from the past by a secretive government ministry. Her assignment is a Victorian polar explorer, charming, stubborn and gloriously out of step with modern London. What begins as comedy of manners across two centuries turns into something warmer and more dangerous as the ministry's purposes come into focus. Witty, stylish and tender, the novel moves quickly while thinking seriously about empire, exile and what it means to belong to a country, a century, or another person.
