Anthem by Tim Binding
Spring 1982. Anglefield Road is a peaceful cul-de-sac in a suburban town north of London, with four houses looking out on each other. But when Argentina invades an obscure British colony, the Falklands – provoking a national crisis and a patriotic revival – the repercussions for the residents of Anglefield Road reach far beyond the events of that momentous summer. Enthralling, moving, darkly funny and humane, Anthem is a triumphant account of ordinary people and war, as the lives of four families are reshaped by a dispute over a group of small, barren islands at the bottom of the world.
"'A brilliant, terrifying and haunting novel.. It combines all the packed action of a thriller with a vision remarkable for its breadth and for its humanity' Evening Standard on A Perfect Execution; 'The most stimulating and also the most exciting novel I read this year... Part thriller, part love story, and wholly engrossing' Antonia Fraser, Books of the Year 1998, Sunday Telegraph on Island Madness; 'Rewarding subtlety and insight into the best and worst of human nature' Jane Shilling, The Times on Island Madness"
