Description
`Vibrant and evocative' Stylist
Imagine an alternative England, where the Church controls the country and non-believers have been exiled to a remote island.
On the Island, a fierce group of boys patrols the community, searching for signs of faith and punishing any believers. When a new girl appears, arriving from the mainland to search for her long-lost mother, the gang is split: one boy falls in love with her, another seeks violent revenge. The struggle between them will change everything.
`The comforts of faith, the terrors of extremism, the loneliness of not believing anything at all: these are the aggressively modern tensions that pierce Wood's novel . . . richly conceived' Metro
`A gripping, well-crafted tale . . . impressive' Observer
