Jenni Fagan

Another book that, like Little Fires Everywhere, portrays a single mother’s relationship with her daughter, Fagan’s follow-up to her rapturously received The Panopticon – which earned her place as one of Granta’s best young British novelists in 2013 – is set in a Scottish caravan park at the end of the world. As a new Ice Age takes hold, self-sufficient Constance and her transgender daughter Stella find themselves transfixed by the beauty of the apocalypse as it approaches. This is a strange, unsettling and enchanting cli-fi story full of wisdom and meteorological wonder.
