Set against the backdrop of 1912 Liverpool, Beryl Bainbridge’s novel follows a penniless twenty‑three‑year‑old Adolf Hitler, who arrives on false papers and is constantly pursued by imagined foes.

His awkwardness, melancholy, and persistent lies propel him into a series of farcical and embarrassing episodes that leave a lasting, humorous impression of his brief English sojourn.
