This is a love story, a quest, a historical novel that takes in the Spanish Civil war and then dives deep into the turbulence of 20th century Ukraine, and even a campus comedy. The Morning Star called it 'determinedly extraordinary' and named it one of the Radical Books of The Year, and it was longlisted for the Goldsmiths Prize. Follow the journeys of a love-lorn PhD student, who chases the biography of a feminist hero despite the withering contempt of his professor. AUTHOR: Mike DD Johnston leads the Barbican Academy. With over ten years' experience as a Senior Lecturer in Creative Writing at the University of Gloucestershire.
