A novel for Young Adults. The story of a Scottish family trying to get home from the Glastonbury festival following a disastrous viral infection that kills a huge proportion of the UK population. Alan McGregor tells the story of their journey through the United Kingdom.
Cuthbertson’s debut novel ‘Big Sky’ is quite simply outstanding. It is a rare story which transcends the narrative form raising questions of our ways of life and society. An exploration of survival and what it means to be human, Cuthbertson’s relatable and realistic characters engage you as a reader creating a powerful and emotionally resonant narrative that keeps you guessing as much as it keeps you reading.
I absolutely recommend this novel, and look forward to reading more of Cuthbertson’s work in the future.
