Dreamland: An Evening Standard 'Best New Book' of 2021
Autor Rosa Rankin-Geeen Limba Engleză Paperback – 15 apr 2021
Chance, her mother and brother are moved from cramped hotel room to cramped hotel room in emergency accommodation. Until a right-wing foundation funding ‘re-locations’ gives the family a cash grant to move out of London, to the seaside town of Margate. Margate — famous for Turner sunsets and rollercoaster-ish highs and lows — has changed. The down-from-Londoners have moved back to the city, sun-curled For Sale signs litter the streets, hotels are empty. And the sea is higher. It’s higher everywhere.
As London distances itself from the rest of the country, Chance builds a home in Margate - navigating a turbulent relationship with her mother’s new boyfriend Kole, looking after her new baby brother Blue, and breaking into abandoned houses with her best friend Davey. Chance is about to meet a girl who couldn’t be more different to her — and she’s about to fall in love in a way that will change her world, and her understanding of the world around her, forever.
Taking place over the next 20 years, Dreamland is a unique post-Brexit Brit-stopia — a state of the nation novel which paints a recognisable and all-too-believable close future of Britain based on social policies already in play.
Set against a backdrop of rising populism, austerity and a creeping mainstreaming of social engineering and eugenics, Dreamland is a story of love, loss, friendship, adventure, and, against all odds, hope.
