One of the BBC's '100 Novels That Shaped Our World'. A deceptively simple modern fable with an ancient origin from Booker Prize winner Ben Okri. A young man finds himself in the company of invisible beings who have created a utopia based on one principle: that we must repeat or suffer through every experience until we have fully experienced it for the first time. 'A modern-day classic,' says the author. Evening Standard (UK) 'Beautiful. A new creation story' The Daily Telegraph 'Amazing. I believe this is as close to reliving the experience of a bedtime story as you can get.' Guardian
