Emily Buchanan is an author and environmental activist from Thanet. She studied English Literature at the University of East Anglia, graduating with a first-class Creative Writing dissertation. She worked for Greenpeace as a Creative Campaigner before freelancing as a graphic designer and illustrator for non-profits. Notable campaign wins include the UK fracking ban, Shell abandoning its search for oil in the Arctic and most recently, the UN agreeing to protect 30% of the world's oceans by 2030. Emily wrote her first novel at twelve a bedtime story for her little sister and has been telling stories in one way or another ever since. She lives in Norwich with her pianist spouse and a brood of four-legged friends.

Buchanan's vision of a near-future Britain gives her fantastic premise a solid grounding... This very engaging novel never loses sight of the importance of banding together collectively and the self-affirming sense of belonging that comes with it
