Heligoland by Shena Mackay
Jonathan Cape
Celeste Zylberstein and Francis Campion are the only two original inhabitants left at the Nautilus, a strange South London building shaped like a chambered shell, which was a thriving artistic community in the 1930s. Gus Crabb, a dealer in bric-a-brac is the only other resident until Rowena Snow moves in seeking her own Utopia or the Heligoland of her childhood imagination. |
