The Island
This is a novel about the end of the world. Or, at least, somebody thinks it is. And it's the story of how one man tries to deal with it, and with a very querulous little girl, and with his wife, and his past, and his future too (if there is one) on a desperate drive across London, culminating on an island in the middle of London Zoo. It’s an extraordinary literary debut novel, very funny and intelligent, and yet rich in pathos too.
