'The year is 1856.  An English apothecary, J G Hallam is sent by his father to open a shop in the New World, but when that business failed, he became a reluctant partner in a photography firm.  This book depicts the way time alters the contours of even the things we hold most certain.  It shows what suffering the absence of a beloved means.'
