When Apollo Kagwa was just a child, his father disappeared, leaving him with recurring nightmares & a box labelled ` Improbabilia`. Now a successful book dealer, Kagwa has a family of his own after meeting & falling in love with Emma, a librarian. The two marry & have a baby: so far so happy-ever-after. However, as the pair settle into their new lives as parents, exhaustion & anxiety start to take their toll. Emma`s behaviour becomes increasingly erratic, until one day she commits an unthinkable act, setting Apollo on a wild & fantastical quest through a suddenly otherworldly New York, in search of a wife & child he no longer recognises. An epic novel for our anxiety-ridden times, The Changeling is a tale of parenthood, love
- in its most raw & brutal form
- &, ultimately, humanity.
