LONGLISTED FOR THE 2021 BOOKER PRIZE'Moving, transfixing' BOOKER PRIZE JUDGES'Absorbing...powerful' Catherine Taylor, GUARDIAN novel about guilt and fear, friendship and rejection; about the meaning of home. A young refugee washes up unconscious on the beach of a small island inhabited by no one but Samuel, an old lighthouse keeper. Unsettled, Samuel is soon swept up in memories of his former life on the mainland: a life that saw his country suffer under colonisers, then fights for independence, only to fall under the rule of a cruel dictator. He recalls his part in its history. In this new man’s presence, he begins to consider what is meant by land and to whom it should belong as he did in his youth. To what lengths will a person go to ensure that what is theirs will not be taken from them?
