Publisher's Synopsis
Elderly retired architect Otto Laird lives a peaceful existence in Switzerland with his second wife, Anika. Once renowned for his radical designs, he now spends his days communing with nature and writing letters to old friends. But Otto's comfortable life is rudely interrupted when he learns that his most revolutionary building, Marlowe House, a tower block in south London, is to be demolished. Determined to do everything in his power to save the building, he reluctantly agrees to take part in a television documentary, which will mean returning to London for the first time in 25 years. And as he explores his past, ponders his present and considers the future - for himself and his building - Otto embarks on a most remarkable journey.
