Book excerpt: âe~Vibrant and evocativeâe(tm) 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. âe~The comforts of faith, the terrors of extremism, the loneliness of not believing anything at all: these are the aggressively modern tensions that pierce Woodâe(tm)s novel . . . richly conceivedâe(tm) Metro âe~A gripping, well-crafted tale . . . impressiveâe(tm) Observer
