Light Perpetual by Francis Spufford
After a 1944 rocket strike in South London, five children who died are imagined to have survived, and the narrative follows their possible lives across the postwar decades into the new millennium. As they experience music, work, love, faith, and mental illness, their stories trace the transformations of modern Britain while meditating on chance, loss, and the quiet significance of ordinary existence.
