Lessons is an intimate yet universal story of love, regret and a restless search for answers. While the world is still counting the cost of the Second World War and the Iron Curtain has descended, young Roland Bainess life is turned upside down. Stranded at boarding school, his vulnerability attracts his piano teacher, Miriam Cornell, leaving scars as well as a memory of love that will never fade. Twenty-five years later, as the radiation from the Chernobyl disaster spreads across Europe, Rolands wife mysteriously vanishes and he is forced to confront the reality of his rootless existence and look for answers in his family history. From the fall of the Berlin Wall to the Covid pandemic and climate change, Roland sometimes rides with the tide of history but more often struggles against it. Haunted by lost opportunities, he seeks solace through every possible means ¬- literature, travel, friendship, drugs, politics, sex and love. Rolands story asks can we take full charge of the course of our lives without damage to others? And what can we learn from the traumas of the past? Superb... A wonderful author has delivered another mesmerising, memorable novel Independent Lessons triumphantly achieves its primary aim of conveying the \"commonplace and wondrous\" intertwining of global history and everyday life Daily Telegraph
