Summer 1989, deep in the English countryside during a time of mass unemployment, class war, and rebellion . . . .
Over the course of a burning hot summer, two very different men Calvert, an ex-soldier traumatized by his experience in the Falklands War, and his affable, off-the-grid friend Redbone set out nightly in a decrepit camper van to undertake an extraordinary project, traversing the fields of rural England and creating crop circles in elaborate and mysterious patterns.
And as the summer wears on, and their designs grow ever more ambitious, the two men find that their work has become a cult international sensation
Moving and exhilarating, tender and slyly witty, The Perfect Golden Circle is a captivating novel about the futility of war, the descruction of the English countryside, class inequality and the power of beauty to heal trauma and fight power.
