RACHEL Joyce, the author of the best-selling and award-winning The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry, will be reading from and talking about her second novel, Perfect at The Shire Hall in Monmouth on Thursday, July 4.
In 1972, in order to balance clock time with the movement of the earth, two seconds were added.
Byron Hemming knew this because James Lowe had told him and James was the cleverest boy at school. But how could time change? Then Byron’s mother, late for the school run, makes a devastating mistake.
Byron’s perfect world is shattered.
Were those two extra seconds to blame?
Can what follows ever be set right?
