An impassioned plea for freedom and justice, set in a world uncomfortably like our own.

From the author of the Man Booker-winning "The Famished Road". A young woman speaks the words 'Who is the Prisoner?' with the repercussions of this question spreading throughout the novel. A man searches for a woman in a world which centres around the mysterious Prison.

The story is complex, layered, and subtle in its critique of how modern society warps our individual interpretations of our collective reality. This is a book with which to sit, reflect, and engage time and time again. Each read teases out another truth, another metaphor, another example of what it means to feel restricted by social norms' Sierra Club.
