From the author of Dreamland 'My name is Jude. And because of Law,
Hey and the Obscure, they thought I was a boy.' Jude is twenty-one
when she flies in a private plane to Sark, a tiny carless Channel
Island, the last place in Europe to abolish feudalism. She has been
hired for the summer to give tuition to a rich local boy called
Pip. But when she arrives, the family is unsettling- Pip is
awkward, over-literal, and adamant he doesn't need a tutor, and
upstairs, his enigmatic mother Esme casts a shadow over the house.
Enter Sofi: the family's holiday cook, a magnetic, mercurial Polish
girl with appalling kitchen hygiene, who sings to herself and
sleeps naked. When the father of the family goes away on business,
Pip's science lessons are replaced by midday rose and
scallop-smuggling, and summer begins. Soon something surprising
starts to touch the three together. But those strange, golden weeks
cannot last forever. Later, in Paris, Normandy and London, they
find themselves looking for the moment that changed everything.
Compelling, dark and funny, The Last Kings of Sark is tale of
complicated love, only children and missed opportunities, from one
of our most exciting young writers.
