'Understated yet devastating, controlled yet unpredictable – The Island is a story of rare qualities that many writers aim for and few achieve. Read it – it’ll be one of the most beautiful nightmares you’ll ever have.’ Toby Litt

No Text The Island
This is a novella about the end of the world... or, at least, somebody thinks it is. As he tries to deal with the end, deals 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.
