'Brilliantly and chillingly imagined' Guardian 'Explored with wit,
thoughtfulness and emotional weight' Spectator As a historian in
the bleak, climate-ravaged twenty-third century, it's Zoe's job to
record and archive the past, not to recreate it. But when she comes
across the diaries of Harry and Michelle, who lived two hundred
years ago, she becomes fascinated by the minutiae of their lives
and decides to write a novel about them, filling in the gaps with
her own imaginings. Harry and Michelle meet just after the Brexit
referendum when Harry's car breaks down outside a small town in
Norfolk. Despite their different backgrounds, and Michelle having
voted Leave while Harry voted Remain, they are drawn to each other
and begin a relationship. From her long perspective, the way Zoe
sees their world is somewhat different from the way we see it now.
Two Tribes becomes a reflection on the way our ideas are shaped by
class and social circumstances, and how they change without us even
noticing. It explores what divides us and what brings us together.
And it asks where we may be headed next.
