This One Sky Day
Leone RossDawn breaks across the archipelago of Popisho. The world is stirring awake again, each resident with their own list of things to do: a wedding feast to conjure and cook; an infidelity to investigate; a lost soul to set free.
"A haunting story about grief and love... Among the many charms of the novel is the way it celebrates the oddness of life." - The Independent UK
As the sun rises two star-crossed lovers try to find their way back to one another across this single day. When night falls, all have been given a gift, and many are no longer the same. A storm is brewing. Before it comes, before the end of the day, this wildly imaginative narrative will take us across the islands, their history, and into the lives of unforgettable characters. The sky is pink, and some wonder if it will ever be blue again.
"A glorious shout of a novel, a sensual, saturated blend of romance, magical realism and erotic comedy . . . Bravura pieces of whimsy blend with intimate explorations of grief, childlessness and crises of sexuality in an intricate narrative set on a single day." - Alex Clark, The Guardian
