FT SHORTLISTED FOR THE MAN BOOKER PRIZE 2017 On March 3rd, 1947, Archibald Isaac Ferguson, the only child of Rose and Stanley Ferguson, is born. From that single beginning, Fergusons life will take four simultaneous but entirely different paths. Family fortunes diverge. Loves and friendships and passions contrast.
