In his first novel since the Booker Prize-winning "The Sea," Banville gives readers a dazzling work that chronicles both a human family and a rather unholy gathering of immortals.
On a languid midsummer's day in the countryside, the Godley family gathers at the bedside of Adam, a renowned mathematician and their patriarch. But they are not alone in their vigil. Around them hovers a clan of mischievous immortals-Zeus, Pan, and Hermes among them -who begin to stir up trouble for the Godleys, to sometimes wildly unintended effect. The Infinities-John Banville's first novel since his Booker Prize-winning and bestselling The Sea-is at once a gloriously earthy romp and a wise look at the terrible, wonderful plight of being human.
