On the small & remote island of Havergey, a few years from now, a community of survivors from a great human catastrophe has created new lives & a new world in a landscape renewed after millennia of human exploitation. To this strange new land comes a traveller from our own time, bewildered by what he finds, & an object of curiosity for the inhabitants, especially the one assigned to watch over him, as he spends his first weeks on the island in Quarantine. Left alone with a history of the community & its roots, he uncovers truths & new mysteries about the people he has encountered, their forebears & the last throes of the old world. In this new novella, the acclaimed poet, novelist & critic brings his unique sensibility to the idea of utopia. A timely reminder about how precious & precarious our world is, it`s also a rejection of the idea of human supremacy over landscape & wildlife. Havergey is the first Little Toller Monograph to be a work of fiction.
