The Book Club book

This book is difficult to define - it's a literary thriller, a love story and a search for a lost poem. Yet at its heart What We Can Know goes to the past, present and future and asks serious questions about identity and purpose.

It is 2119 and the low lying parts of the UK have been covered by rising seas of the environmental catastrophe. What has been lost haunts the survivors.  Tom Metcalfe, a University academic studies the archives of the early twenty-first century, amazed by the freedoms and possibilities of human life at its peak.  In his research he finds a clue to a beautiful, but lost poem.  However as details emerge of love and a brutal crime, his assumptions are destroyed about a story he thought he knew so well.
