Description
Set in a dystopian Europe ravaged by climate change, Bridge 108 is a haunting novel about a young boy's struggle for survival and hope. When Caleb is separated from his mother during their journey north, he falls prey to traffickers and finds himself enslaved in an enclave outside Manchester.
Despite the oppressive circumstances, Caleb never loses hope of bettering himself. With the help of a fellow victim of trafficking, he begins a new journey, hiding in the woodlands by day and guided by the stars at night. As he navigates this treacherous world, Caleb must confront the harsh realities of his situation and find a way to escape to a better life.
Told through multiple voices, Bridge 108 charts the passage of a young boy into adulthood against a backdrop of a frighteningly believable future. This powerful novel is increasingly relevant to our present day, making it a compelling read for anyone interested in dystopian fiction and the human spirit's capacity for resilience and hope.
