Title: | Nation |
Author: | Terry Pratchett |
Genre: | Fiction/Drama/Humour/Alternate History |
Synopsis: | A young girl is shipwrecked on an island during a hurricane that wiped out almost the entire island’s population bar one young man. As survivors from surrounding islands join them they must each overcome their alienness to each other in order to communicate, survive and try make sense of the world they now find themselves in. |
Verdict: | A touching, engaging look at cultural divides and how hard it can be to find a common ground that allows each side to recognise the shared humanity that truly underlies it. Pratchett’s strongest female character yet. This is a masterpiece. |
