Autumn 2016, and the United Kingdom is split by a summer referendum. Elisabeth, born in 1984 and now a university lecturer in London, keeps company with Daniel, the neighbour who befriended her when she was a child and who is now a century old and fading. The story moves between the present and her early years with him, and takes in her absurd struggle to renew a passport and her fascination with the pop artist Pauline Boty. Told in loose, playful fragments that ignore conventional structure, it is a novel about ageing, love, art and time in a country coming apart.
