Island Paradise
Set 100 years in the future, Island Paradise posits a world in which nuclear conflagration has been heroically averted, all weapons (supposedly) destroyed and a cult of peace established. Murder is so unspeakable that its very existence is denied. But the price for such peace is one that all citizens must pay - Timely Death. As her time comes near, narrator Laurie thinks back to the events twenty years ago on Island Paradise, a luxurious holiday resort: events which opened her eyes to the way things really are. A haunting novel which explores politics, violence and the responsibilities we all share when we consent to be governed. 'This is a remarkable novel, visionary in its descriptions of the future, psychologically and politically rich. Kathy Page's language has passages of striking beauty' 'Page's voice is by turns lyrical and laconic, with a narrative dexterity which is reminiscent of Margaret Atwood at her very best' City Limits |
