Mister Pip, Paperback/Lloyd Jones
Shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize, this is the paperback edition of the novel about love, growing up and the power of books. Set on a remote South Pacific island, threatened by uprising, it follows the intertwining stories of Matilda and her classmates, a boy called Pip and a man named Mr Dickens. An unforgettable tale of survival by story. '}Mister Pip{ is the first of Jones's six novels to have travelled from his native New Zealand to the UK. It is so hoped that it won't be the last.' }Observer{
