Description:
From the Giller-winning author of The Sentimentalists comes the story of a revolution on an imaginary island.
On an imaginary island, one whose socio-economic divide runs deep, an insurrection is brewing. Over the course of a day, the lives of two women—one a rebel, one a diplomat—will be forever changed.
Lota is a restless islander who works at a fish factory but is looking for a larger life. When she meets charismatic leader Kurtz, her life comes into sharp focus. Together, Kurtz's group of misfits plot to overthrow the island's occupying power. They plan to charge the embassy. They plan to capture Ø Com's outer station—the gateway to the entire empire's wireless operations. History does not—Kurtz urges her soldiers—have to repeat itself. As the past and future converge on this one day, a new world order is within reach. They cannot fail.
