From the Booker Prize-winning author of The Sea comes a novel that is at once a gloriously earthy romp and a wise look at the terrible, wonderful plight of being human.One of the great living masters of English-language prose. The Infinities is a dazzling example of that mastery. -Los Angeles TimesOn a languid midsummers 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.
