High dive : a novel  Cover Image Book Book

High dive : a novel / Jonathan Lee.

Summary:

A moving and darkly funny novel, set around a bustling seaside hotel that is about to be transformed by violence: a bold, astonishingly intimate exploration of how the ordinary unfolds into tragedy. In September 1984, a bomb was planted in the Grand Hotel in Brighton, England, set to explode on the day Margaret Thatcher and her entire cabinet would be staying there. Nimbly weaving together fact and fiction, comedy and tragedy, the story switches among the perspectives of Dan, a young IRA bomb maker; Moose, a career-minded deputy hotel manager; and Freya, his teenage daughter. A novel of laughter and heartbreak, this is an indelible portrait of clashing loyalties, doubt, guilt, and regret, and of how individuals become the grist of history
