Christopher Burton, Britain's foremost foreign correspondent, has returned with his Italian wife to London for an extended stay. One morning, while at the reception desk of his Knights-bridge hotel, he receives a phone call announcing that his teenage son has committed suicide in Italy. Why, upon hearing the news, does he immediately conclude that his marriage of thirty years is over? And why is grief so slow in coming? Analyzing the three decades of his love-hate relationship, Burton finds his life a web of contradictions, questions, and confusions. And yet, clearly, it has also been his destiny.Dramatic, dark, and surprisingly funny, Destiny is a mesmerizing novel, a meditation on marriage and identity, at once romantic and callous, insightful and blunt: Tim Parks at his brilliant best.
