From the award-winning author of The Beauty, Aliya Whiteley, Skein Island is a powerful and disturbing look at the roles we play, and how they form and divide us. "Aliya Whiteley is one of the most original, innovative and intelligent writers of speculative fiction working in Britain today." - Nina Allan, author of The Rift
Skein Island is a private refuge twelve miles off the coast. Few receive the invitation to stay for one week, free of charge. If you are chosen, you must pay for your stay with a story from your past; a Declaration for the Island's vast library. What happens to your Declaration after you leave the island is not your concern. Powerful and disturbing, it is a story over which the characters will fight for control. Until they realise the true enemy is the story itself.
