In September 1984, a bomb was planted at the Grand Hotel in the seaside town of Brighton, England, set to explode in twenty-four days when the British prime minister and her entire cabinet would be staying there.
High Dive
not only takes us inside this audacious assassination attempt—a decisive act of violence on the world stage—but also imagines its way into a group of unforgettable characters. Over the course of a mere four weeks, as the prime minister’s arrival draws closer, each of their lives will be transformed forever. A bold, astonishingly intimate novel of laughter and heartbreak,
is a moving portrait of clashing loyalties, guilt and regret, and how individuals become the grist of history.
En septiembre de 1984, un hombre que se hace llamar Roy Walsh se hospeda en el Grand Hotel de Brighton para colocar una bomba. Su objetivo es que veinticuatro días más tarde la explosión acabe con la vida de Margaret Thatcher y todo su gabinete. Roy Walsh es en realidad Dan, un jovencísimo experto en explosivos del IRA oriundo de Belfast cuyo destino quedará unido a los de Moose y Freya Finch. Moose es el subdirector del hotel donde el Partido Conservador va a celebrar su convención, un exatleta entrado en los cuarenta y padre soltero que está convencido de que la visita de la primera ministra puede ser una estupenda oportunidad para relanzar su carrera. Freya, su hija, trabaja de recepcionista en el hotel mientras decide qué hacer con su vida tras terminar el colegio. El gran salto es una novela sobre las vidas de estos tres personajes, sobre las ilusiones, logros y fracasos de gente corriente unida por uno de los atentados más importantes de la historia del IRA. Un libro que ha confirmado a Jonathan Lee como uno de los más destacados autores ingleses de su generación.
