They've kept busy - Aina with her garden, her jigsaw, her music; Whitney with his sculptures and maps - but something is not right.     Shipwrecks have begun washing up, and their supply drops have stopped. And on the day they're meant to be collected for parole, the Warden does not come. Instead there's a sheep. But sheep can't swim...      As days pass, Aina begins to suspect that their prison is part of a peninsula, and that Whitney has been keeping secrets. And if he's been keeping secrets, maybe she should too. Convinced they've been abandoned, she starts investigating ways she might escape. As she comes to grips with the decisions that haunt her past, she realises her biggest choice is yet to come.  __________________________________  '\u003cb\u003eTaut, unsettling \u003c\/b\u003eand so completely charged with both\u003cb\u003e tension \u003c\/b\u003eand \u003cb\u003eemotion'\u003c\/b\u003e Naomi Ishiguro  '\u003cb\u003eTense, taut \u003c\/b\u003eand \u003cb\u003eabsorbing\u003c\/b\u003e' Gemma Reeves     \u003cb\u003eReader Reviews \u003c\/b\u003e  'An \u003cb\u003eoriginal \u003c\/b\u003eand \u003cb\u003egripping \u003c\/b\u003eread'  '\u003cb\u003eAddictive\u003c\/b\u003e and \u003cb\u003eatmospheric\u003c\/b\u003e'  'A \u003cb\u003ehaunting \u003c\/b\u003eand \u003cb\u003eoriginal\u003c\/b\u003e dystopian story'  '\u003cb\u003eCompelling \u003c\/b\u003eand \u003cb\u003eabsorbing\u003c\/b\u003e'  'A \u003cb\u003erefreshing \u003c\/b\u003echange from the norm'","brand":"Bloomsbury Publishing PLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44730977583331,"sku":"9781526639547","price":16.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1701\/6275\/files\/9781526639547.jpg?v=1712677964","url":"https:\/\/www.harbourbookshop.co.uk\/products\/9781526639547","provider":"The Harbour Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
