A famous broadcaster writes a forgotten love letter; a friend abruptly disappears; a lover leaves something unexpected behind; a traumatised woman is consumed by her own anxiety.

In the throes of a fever, a woman’s mind casts her back to the past. In precise, vivid language, the stories of four important people who have shaped her life are revealed - a thousand little memories from across a lifetime, laid bare in vivid detail as her body temperature races.

International bestseller The Details is a luminous portrayal of all the small moments that make up a life; the little details that make us human.
