Olivier is a French aristocrat, the traumatized child of survivors of the Revolution; Parrot the son of an itinerant printer who always wanted to be an artist but has ended up a servant. Born on different sides of history, their lives will be brought together by their travels in America. Peter Carey explores the adventure of American democracy, in theory and in practice, with dazzling wit and inventiveness.

Dropzone
Ethan Blake is seventeen and desperate to escape from his dead-end life. When he sees someone BASE jump from the top of his block of flats, it changes the way he sees the world for ever. He's a natural, so it's no surprise when he's invited to join an elite skydive team, but is he signing up for more than just jumping out of planes?
