Summary: The Body in the Clouds tells the story of one extraordinary moment - a man falling from the sky and surviving - and of three men who see it, in different ways and different times, as they stand on the same piece of land. An astronomer in the late 1700s, a bridge worker in the 1930s, an expatriate banker returning home in the early 21st century: all three are transformed by one magical event. All are searching for the same thing: how to understand what it means to call a place home and how to tell when you get there
