Swimmers (Womack Marian)(Paperback / softback)

A claustrophobic, literary dystopia set in the hot, luscious landscape of Andalusia from the author of The Golden Key. "A richly imagined eco-gothic tale." - The Guardian

"Exquisitely realised." - The Times After the ravages of the Green Winter, Earth is a place of deep jungles and monstrous animals. The last of the human race is divided into surface dwellers and the people who live in the Upper Settlement, a ring perched at the edge of the Earth's atmosphere. Bearing witness to this divided planet is Pearl, a young techie with a thread of shuvani blood, who lives in the isolated forests of Gobari, navigating her mad mother and the strange blue light in the sky. But Pearl's stepfather promises her to a starborn called Arlo, and the world Pearl thought she knew will never be the same again.
