A Novel
by Jo BakerIf you liked The Undertow, try these:
From the best-selling author of Atonement and Saturday comes the epic and intimate story of one man's life across generations and historical upheavals. From the Suez Crisis to the Cuban Missile Crisis, the fall of the Berlin Wall to the current pandemic, Roland Baines sometimes rides with the tide of history, but more often struggles against it.
A magnificent, century-spanning saga about a love triangle that spawns a myth, and a family mystery, across generations.
Finishing second in the Olympics gets you silver. Finishing second in politics gets you oblivion.
