O knihe
'Taut, unsettling and so completely charged with both tension and emotion, I found myself captivated by Metronome ... Its vivid characters and the bleak, brutal beauty of the world they inhabit will haunt my dreams for a long time now, in the absolute best of ways' Naomi Ishiguro Not all that is hidden is lost. For 12 years, Aina and Whitney have been exiled on an island, living off seaweed and oats, tethered to a croft by pills they must take for survival every 8 hours. It's been a testing time. But they've kept themselves busy. Aina has her garden, her jigsaw, her music. Whitney has his own projects, his sculptures, his maps . But something is not right. Ships have begun washing up -empty wrecks-and their supply drops have stopped. And on the day that they are to be collected for parole, the Warden does not come. Instead there's a sheep. But sheep can't swim. As days pass, Aina begins to suspect that their prison is part of a peninsula, and that Whitney has been keeping secrets. And if he's been keeping secrets, maybe she should too. Convinced that they've been abandoned, she starts investigating ways that she might escape, and as she comes to grips with the decisions that haunt her past, she realises her biggest choice is yet to come...
