Fiction, Modern & contemporary fiction (post c 1945)
Christopher Priest's prescient novel of global migration and disaster.
Survivors of a terrible African war flee their blighted continent and look for refuge in the countries of the West. But Britain is falling into civil war and anarchy.
One of Christopher Priest's earliest novels, FUGUE FOR A DARKENING ISLAND is a powerful work whose subject matter has become increasingly relevant in recent years.
Christopher Priest

CLARKE and the BRITISH SCIENCE FICTION AWARDS. THE ISLANDERS won both the BSFA and John W. Campbell awards. He was selected for the original BEST OF YOUNG BRITISH NOVELISTS in 1983.
