In a present that is almost our own, the world is split in two: the Monos who can only remember yesterday and the Duos who can also remember the day before. Everyone keeps a diary, meticulously recording the important events of each day in order to study them tomorrow in the hope of learning them as facts.
When a beautiful woman turns up drowned in the Cam, her diary makes clear she was having a torrid affair with a famous author - one on the verge of running for Parliament. Can his career - and his marriage - survive? Can he and his wife ever be sure what he may have been up to more than a day ago?
This is a great concept, and I was really excited to read it. Unfortunately, it's badly executed, and I ended up finding it tedious, repetitive and overwrought. While I can forgive unlikeable characters (especially in narrative like this one), they've got to be interesting.
Full review.
