Double Blind
From the author of the acclaimed Patrick Melrose novels comes a dramatic and powerful reflection on nature, nurture, inquiry, perception, and the myriad ways we try to understand what it means to be alive. Double Blind follows three close friends and their circle through a year of extraordinary transformation. Set in London, Cap d'Antibes, Big Sur, and a rewilded corner of Sussex, this thrilling, ambitious novel is about the headlong pursuit of knowledge--for the purposes of pleasure, revelation, money, sanity, or survival--and the consequences of fleeing from what we know about others and ourselves. When Olivia meets a new lover just as she is welcoming her best friend, Lucy, back from New York, her dedicated academic life expands precipitously. Her connection to Francis, a committed naturalist living off the grid, is immediate and startling. Eager to involve Lucy in her joy, Olivia introduces the two--but Lucy has received shocking news of her own that binds the trio unusually
Double Blind
Olivia is a talented geneticist with a personal stake in her field. She thinks deeply about who she is and why -- more deeply than many, perhaps, because her parents, both respected psychoanalysts, adopted her as a baby. The fate of her twin birth-brother is unknown. When Olivia meets Francis, a young naturalist rewilding a corner of Sussex, and is reunited with her best friend Lucy, recently returned from a high-flying career in New York, her life expands in exciting and disorienting ways. But just as Olivia is daring to fall in love, Lucy receives devastating news which requires her friends to become her family. At the same time, Olivia's father has started to treat a struggling, clever man of his daughter's age whose story sets off unnerving echoes, ethical dilemmas, and the possibility of a shattering encounter . . . Moving from London to Provence to California and back to a beautiful woodland entirely off the grid, Double Blind is a breathtaking, kaleidoscopic novel exploring friendship, love, consciousness and the natural world, and pushing against many of the received orthodoxies of popular science. It is about nature, nurture, enquiry, perception, and the myriad ways we try to understand what it means to be alive.

Dunbar
I really did have an empire, you know, said Dunbar. Have I ever told you the story of how it was stolen from me? Henry Dunbar, the once all-powerful head of a global corporation, is not having a good day. In his dotage he handed over care of the family firm to his two eldest daughters, Abby and Megan. But relations quickly soured, leaving him doubting the wisdom of past decisions... Now imprisoned in a care home in the Lake District with only a demented alcoholic comedian as company, Dunbar starts planning his escape. As he flees into the hills, his family is hot on his heels. But who will find him first, his beloved youngest daughter, Florence, or the tigresses Abby and Megan, so keen to divest him of his estate? Edward St Aubyn is renowned for his masterwork, the five Melrose novels, which dissect with savage and beautiful precision the agonies of family life. Dunbar is a devastating family story and an excoriating novel for and of our times an examination of power, money and the value of forgiveness.
