What We Can Know داستانی چندصدایی است که در دو بازهٔ زمانی قرار می‌گیرد: یک شام در سال ۲۰۱۴ که خواندن شعری مرموز و گم‌شده را در پی دارد، و سال ۲۱۱۹ که بخش‌هایی از جهان زیر آب رفته و پژوهش‌گر تنها وادیِ گذشته را جست‌وجو می‌کند. مک‌ایوان با ظرافتی فلسفی پرسش‌هایی درباره حافظه، زبان، اخلاق و آنچه به‌واقع می‌توان شناخت مطرح می‌کند؛ وقتی سرنخ‌هایی به‌دست می‌آید، رازهایی از عشق و خشونت پرده‌برداری می‌شوند که تصورات شخصیت‌ها را برهم می‌زنند و خواننده را در لایه‌های پیچیدگی حقیقت فرو می‌برد.
From the Booker Prize–winning, bestselling author of Atonement and Saturday, a genre‑bending new novel full of secrets and surprises; an immersive exploration, across time and history, of what can ever be truly known.
2014: At a dinner for close friends and colleagues, renowned poet Francis Blundy honors his wife’s birthday by reading aloud a new poem dedicated to her, ‘A Corona for Vivien’. Much wine is drunk as the guests listen, and a delicious meal consumed. Little does anyone gathered around the candlelit table know that for generations to come people will speculate about the message of this poem, a copy of which has never been found, and which remains an enduring mystery.
2119: Just over one hundred years in the future, much of the western world has been submerged by rising seas following a catastrophic nuclear accident. Those who survive are haunted by the richness of the world that has been lost. In the water‑logged south of what used to be England, Thomas Metcalfe, a lonely scholar and researcher, longs for the early twenty‑first century as he chases the ghost of one poem, ‘A Corona for Vivien’. When he stumbles across a clue that may lead to the elusive poem’s discovery, a story is revealed of entangled loves and a brutal crime that destroy his assumptions about people he thought he knew intimately well.
