Description
The Sunlight Pilgrims by Jenni Fagan is set against the backdrop of a freak winter in Scotland, where a small community is struggling to cope with the end of times. Bodies are found frozen in the street, and daily life carries on despite the chaos.
A refugee from panic-stricken London, Dylan arrives at a Scottish caravan park, seeking a new beginning. He is drawn to his neighbour Constance, who is navigating her own complex relationships and struggles with her 11-year-old daughter Stella. As the temperature drops, the community finds ways to cope, but also faces its own challenges.
This humane and beautifully written novel explores themes of absence, the unknowability of mothers, and the human need for connection in extreme circumstances. It is a story about people finding one another, and themselves, amidst uncertainty and change.
