This book was the winner of the Man Booker Prize 2014. Forever after, there were for them only two sorts of men: the men who were on the Line, and the rest of humanity, who were not.

Struggling to save the men under his command from starvation, from cholera, from beatings, he receives a letter that will change his life forever.
