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.
Naomi Wood is the author of The Godless Boys, which is currently being adapted for the screen, and Mrs. Hemingway, which has been published in more than ten countries around the world. Naomi studied at Cambridge and has a Masters degree and Doctorate from the University of East Anglia. Her research for Mrs. Hemingway took her from the British Library to the Library of Congress, and to Ernest Hemingway's homes and old haunts in Chicago, Paris, Antibes, Key West and Cuba. She now lives in London.
