Dreamland

by Rosa Rankin-Gee

Rosa Rankin-Gee’s eerie second novel is set in a near-future England in which the south coast is in the process of being claimed by rising sea levels. This looming crisis serves as a backdrop to a tenderly-told love story between Chance, a teenage girl living in poverty in crumbling Margate, and Franky, a middle-class humanitarian worker with a mysterious past. Dreamland is currently in the process of being adapted into a six-part series by the BBC.
