<p><b>A piece of land that should not exist; a community established on unstable ground with dreams of utopia. For readers who love literary fiction with a dark imaginative twist, the haunting new novel from the winner of the European Prize for Literature.</b></p><p><b>'One of the most imaginative and talented Irish writers at work today</b>' Roisín O'Donnell, author of <i>Nesting</i></p><p>'<b>Warm, sharp and gloriously funny</b>' Sarah Moss, author of <i>Ripeness</i></p><p>___</p><p>In 1958, a politician proposes a plan so absurd it should have remained a footnote in history: drain the largest lake in Ireland to create new land. In Jan Carson's dazzling vision, the plan goes ahead...</p><p>It's summer 2017 and the last few residents of the Lough Neagh Archipelago, formed over fifty years ago, are facing eviction. The flood planned to combat a devastating algae outbreak around the islands will submerge their homes, forcing them back to the Mainland for the first time in decades.</p><p>Robert-John and Marion Connolly came to the islands as children, following their father, an anthropologist studying the unique society that had developed there. For many, the Neagh Archipelago represented a chance to reinvent themself, to be free of the prejudices and history of the mainland. But perhaps this utopia wasn't all that it seemed.</p><p>Marion and Robert-John have grown accustomed to their haunted existence on the Ark, monitoring the mysterious Far Side, where ghostly figures linger and the land swallows secrets whole. How will they cope when they lose everything they've ever known. And will the Ark ever let them go...</p><p>For fans of the eerie tenderness of Our Wives Beneath the Sea or the political hauntings of Mariana Enriquez, this is the real world made strangely new.</p><p>_____</p><p><b>'Her best book yet</b>' Heather Parry, author of <i>Carrion Crow</i></p><p>'<b>No writer captures the absurdity and beauty of life quite like [Jan Carson]</b>' Sara Baume, author o
