    Summary

    John goes to sleep in Rishikesh, and wakes up in London, in a world where he and Paul have been together for years. Part of him is unsettled by it, even a bit put off — but another part of him is helplessly curious. He does his best to navigate a life that could almost be his own.

    Summary

    The story of Mary Mohin McCartney, from her early life on a farm in Ireland to her nursing career in Liverpool, marriage to Jim and her two children, Paul and Michael. In this universe, Mary does not die and witnesses the beginnings of her elder son's career, with mixed feelings. She has memories and an inner life her family never know of, indeed that she spends a lot of time trying not to know herself. She is first and foremost a worker, but poetry still keeps finding a way to break through.

    Title from Rose of the World, by W.B. Yeats

    Summary

    John’s been having a hard time of it in the ‘70s. He’s divorced, his creativity is stagnant, he’s burned bridges with just about everyone in his address book. Despairing in everything and unable to face the thought of Christmas alone, he travels to Scotland in an attempt to fix the one lost relationship that’s tortured him the most.

    Summary

    From the moment John returned from Barcelona — all right; from the moment he’d left with Mr Epstein — it had been obvious that something had changed.

     

    To the surprise of nobody, Paul is not about to let sleeping dogs lie, especially after the scene John creates at his twenty-first. He's on a mission, but so, apparently, is John. The ultimate outcome is, largely through coincidence, favourable for all.
