Beneath the Lightning and the Moon

de Fred Uhlman · Publicada por primera vez en 1984

Four people stranded on a desert island: which, if any, will survive - the ex-Borstal boy, the nice girl from the Home Counties, the nasty millionaire, or the gentle scholar trying to keep the peace between them? Overhead is the burning sun, underfoot the burning sand, while brightly coloured fish devour each other in the rock pools and time has no stop. With a painter's eye Fred Uhlmann evokes the beauty and terror of a primitive landscape. As the tension mounts to its grim conclusion, the end is not easily divined.
