Historical
A taxi is like the confessional. A small safe window of time with a stranger, unentangled in your world. Meet Edmund Hicklin, everyman, London driver-for-hire.
In a vehicle which morphs from Celtic horse and carriage to 1960s Austin taxicab, he participates in unguarded exchanges at key moments in the lives of a memorable bunch of passengers.
Readers will witness London spread its tentacles across the centuries, recovering from its darkest days to evolve into the world’s biggest city.
Casting a droll eye over his encounters, Edmund shows how an ordinary person can affect the course of history. But our driver is not a priest or a therapist. He doesn’t keep his passengers’ secrets but reveals all to his ever-curious wife Isabella, as together they delicately navigate an unusual condition - immortality.
