Description
Doggerland is a haunting and compelling novel about loneliness and hope, set in a not-so-distant future. In the North Sea, a wind farm stretches for thousands of acres, home to two men who carry out its maintenance: The Boy and the Old Man.
Their never-ending work is scoured by wind and salt, as waves roll through the turbine fields, dragging strange flotsam through the area. Land is only a memory, and so too is The Boy's father, who worked on the turbines before him and disappeared. The Boy has been sent to take his place, but the Old Man will give no answer about what happened to his father.
As The Boy sifts for the truth of his missing father, he begins to uncover a plan for escape from their isolated world. This beautifully crafted novel is as compelling as it is haunting, and marks a superb debut in the literary fiction genre.
