Writer and editor Ben Eastham will be talking to Deborah about her most recent book.'It's like this, Saul Adler.''No, it's like this, Jennifer Moreau.'In 1988, Saul Adler is hit by a car on the Abbey Road. Apparently fine, he gets up and poses for a photograph taken by his girlfriend, Jennifer Moreau. He carries this photo with him to East Berlin: a fragment of the present, an anchor to the West. But in the GDR he finds himself troubled by time - stalked by the spectres of history, slipping in and out of a future that does not yet exist. Until, in 2016, Saul attempts to cross the Abbey Road again...'A time-bending, location-hopping tale of love, truth and the power of seeing.
