Tomorrow by Chris Beckett

The fascinating new novel from Chris Beckett, the Arthur C. Clarke award-winning author. 'Tomorrow I'm going to begin my novel...' A would-be author has taken time out from life in the city to live in a cabin by a river and write a novel. And not just any novel. A novel that will avoid all the pitfalls and limitations of other novels, a novel that will include everything. At first these new surroundings are so idyllic that it's hard to find the motivation to get started. And then, in all its brutality, the outside world intervenes... Ranging constantly backwards and forwards in time and space, Tomorrow becomes a restless search for meaning in a precarious and elusive world.
Exhilarating.. the scenario grips * The Times *
A fractured narrative for fractured times, Tomorrow is cool without being cold; distant and devastatingly personal * Daily Mail *
Lingers long in the mind * SFX *
Brilliantly and chillingly imagined * Guardian on Two Tribes *
Captivating and haunting * Daily Mail on Dark Eden *
