A propos de ce titre

Synopsis

This novel is set in Diego Garcia, a small island in the middle of the Indian Ocean - too small to find on a map and one of the last paradisical outposts of the Empire. The islanders are forced to leave hteir home to make way for a military base for the United States army. Peter Benson has also written the prize-winning novel "The Levels".

Revue de presse

'This is polemic touched with poetry. Benson's gift is to capturein strong visual terms the earth-based intuition of those "dropped in the sand and tuned to the rhythms of tiny island life' --The Sunday Times

'The lack of adornment lends the novel the directness of a folk-tale and sharpens its sting' --The Independent

'A powerful political novel which makes its case all the more forcefully for being so restrained' --The Guardian
