«Perfect» is the literary fiction novel by Rachel Joyce, published by Bantam/Transworld Publishers in paperback (368 pages, in English).
In 1972, two seconds were added to balance time with the Earth's movement. Byron knows this because James, the best student at school, told him; for him, clocks are as reliable as his future. When his mother arrives late to school and makes a devastating mistake, Byron's world breaks apart. Were those two seconds to blame?
It is Rachel Joyce's second novel, after «The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry». The recorded publication date is April 8, 2013.
