Descriere

The Youngster doesn't know where her parents are. They left with a promise to come back but that was months ago, and now their seventeen-year-old daughter is stranded on Swan Island.

Swan isn't just any island; home to an eccentric old-age separatist community who have shunned life on the mainland, it is also slipping into the ocean, "a half-moon shape like the sea took an actual bite out of it." And for the seventy-year-old residents of Swan, The Youngster's arrival is a problem, an unwelcome reminder of the life they left behind and one they want rid of.

In Cygnet, Season Butler gives us the coming-of-age story we haven't heard before, about a young girl resisting the savagery of adulthood as a dying community rejects the promise of youth.

Through her work, she explores her interest in identity and otherness, the opportunities and traps of hindsight and hope, and what it means to look forward to an increasingly wily future. An early draft of Cygnet was shortlisted for the SI Leeds Prize for unpublished fiction by Black and Asian Women. She lives and works between London and Berlin.
