It is written as a lifelong series of journals kept by the protagonist, Logan Mountstuart, a writer whose life (1906-1991) spanned the defining episodes of the twentieth century, crossed several continents and included a convoluted sequence of relationships and literary endeavours. Boyd uses the diary form as a means of exploring how public events impinge on individual consciousness, so that Mountstuarts journal alludes almost casually to the war, the death of a prime minister or the abdication of the king.
