FORMATHardcover LANGUAGEEnglish CONDITIONBrand New Publisher Description A permanently frozen London is the setting for this harrowing yet lyrical tale of survival in a dystopian near-future. Through endless years of glacial winter, artist Hera has known loss. Her one comfort has been her relationship with Raphael. As the thaw begins, can she track down her elusive lover? Notes For fans of Margaret Atwood and Howard Jacobson, this is a tale of survival set in a dystopian near-future. Author Biography Roma Tearne: Roma Tearne is a Sri Lankan-born, Oxford-based artist, film-maker and writer. Her debut novel, Mosquito, was shortlisted for the 2007 Costa First Novel Award. The Swimmer was longlisted for the Orange Prize in 2011 and Asian Man Booker in 2012. Review Quote Praise for Mosquito: 'With vividly rendered tropical seascapes and jungles, and populated by philosophical servants and petulant power-mongers, this novel offers a moving May-December love story set against a conflict in which the warring parties ultimately become Violence and Art. Wholly satisfying.' Kirkus (starred review) 'In her moody, painterly depiction of the encounter turned love affair between a Sri Lankan novelist and his neighbor's daughter, Tearne links her love story to national politics with a vengeance.' NPR 'Beautifully crafted debut ... Tearne captures the desperation, fear and hope of love during wartime, showing multiple sides of the human capacity for survival.' Publishers Weekly 'Tearne's painterly approach to narrative renders visible the memory of love, the sensations of hope, and the heart-wrenching brutality of a war-torn nation.' Booklist Praise for Bone China: 'Tearne describes the beauty and devastation of Sri Lanka with passion and insight' Publishers Weekly 'Tearne ... gives the Tamil diaspora a recognizable face in this plainly told yet engaging tale.' ALISON McCULLOCH New York Times 'Tearne deftly reveals the corrosive effects of civil strife on private lives and the redemptiveness of art.' The Guardian Praise for The Last Pier: 'The Last Pier is an atmospheric page-turner and Tearne keeps the reader guessing to the end' The Independent Competing Titles The Last Pier Roma Tearne 9781843915645 16.95 Hesperus July 2015 Only Ever Yours Louise O'Neill 9781681449579 7.99 Quercus March 2016 J: a novel Howard Jacobson 9780553419566 15 Hogarth Sep 2015 The Mercy Journals Claudia Casper 9781551526331 17.95 Arsenal Pulp Press May 2016 Description for Sales People Literary dystopia for readers of Margaret Atwood, Cormac McCarthy and Kazuo Ishiguro From the author of Mosquito (shortlisted for LA Times First Fiction Prize, Independent Publisher Book Award and Costa First Novel Award), Brixton Beach (a TV Book Club pick) and The Swimmer (longlisted for the Orange Prize in 2011 and Asian Man Booker in 2012) A timely dystopian tale warning of the disintegration of state and community, the curtailment of individual freedoms and the threat of religious persecution Details ISBN1910709425 Author Roma Tearne Publisher Gallic Books Year 2017 ISBN-10 1910709425 ISBN-13 9781910709429 Format Hardcover Media Book Pages 144 Language English DEWEY 823.92 Audience General/Trade Imprint Aardvark Bureau Place of Publication London Country of Publication United Kingdom Illustrations No AU Release Date 2017-10-09 NZ Release Date 2017-10-09 Publication Date 2017-10-09 UK Release Date 2017-10-09 We've got thisAt The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.With fast shipping, low prices, friendly service and well over a million items - you're bound to find what you want, at a price you'll love! 30 DAY RETURN POLICYNo questions asked, 30 day returns!
