phenomen a book

John Wyndham’s The Chrysalids is generally held to be his best work - right up to the penultimate chapter! But the ending leaves a lot to be desired, with all sorts of loose ends. In this sequel which is set in the same storyline and in the same location (Labrador), I aimed to remedy that situation, with the continuation in a narrative style similar to Wyndham’s, and with attention to detail and episodic events. I also endeavoured to develop the main players’ characters a bit more.
