? Out now: The Land in Winter, longlisted for the Booker Prize 2025 ?

Oxygen: a deeply moving exploration of courage, love and liberation in the modern age

Shortlisted for the Booker Prize and the Whitbread Novel Award

'Beautiful' The Times

'Superbly realised' Sunday Telegraph

'Breathtaking' Irish Times

In the summer of 1997, four people reach a turning point: Alice Valentine, who lies gravely ill in her West Country home; her two sons, one still searching for a sense of direction, the other fighting to keep his acting career and marriage afloat; and László Lázár, who leads a comfortable life in Paris yet is plagued by his memories of the 1956 Hungarian uprising.

For each, the time has come to assess what matters in life, and all will be forced to take part in an act of liberation - though not necessarily the one foreseen.
