The Coincidence Authority by John Ironmonger
Have you ever experienced a coincidence that seems too strange to be true? And is there such a thing as fate? THE COINCIDENCE AUTHORITY is a novel about love in a random universe, about two lost souls each with a quest to understand the secret patterns of their lives. From the windswept tranquillity of a Manx village to the brutal abduction of child soldiers in Africa, the lives of Thomas Post and Azalea Lewis intertwine as they try to untangle the mystery of Azalea's past. A mystery that began with a seagull and four pieces of bread...
This is an absorbing and unusual novel suffused with intelligence, charm and humanity and I highly recommend it* THE BOOKSELLER *

A love story that is also a story of ideas...The love story between Thomas and Azalea is touching and gently written. * THE METRO *
