Fugue for a Darkening Island cover

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.

it is startling how relevant this 40 year-old novel is, even today ... His prose is finely honed, his grasp of structure and tone a thing of darkly sparkling beauty, redolent of an elegance, a grace * STARBURST MAGAZINE *
