The Red Hairband is a post-apocalyptic, literary science fiction
novel. How does our upbringing influence our interpretation of the
world? Evie, Laura, and Bertram, must confront this question in
their three intertwined stories. Evie is indoctrinated by a
repressive regime, and throws herself into conflict with a more
liberal society. She tries to destroy them, but fails. Instead, a
myth about her life is used to start a revolution against the
regime. Laura's new-born son, Edmond, is a time traveller from the
future, but she isn't believed and is diagnosed with post-natal
depression. To avoid being sectioned she joins him in his world.
Bertram, an orphan, is desperate to find his parents. While
searching, he meets Edmond and Laura, and uncovers the truth about
Evie. He decides to expose the person behind the myth. The Red
Hairband is an exploration of the inhumanity that certainty about
our ideas can bring about; it advocates for doubt about all our
beliefs.
