The Island of Lost Souls - Softcover
A fugitive turns up at a young widow's door. Finn is a draft dodger. Afraid of dying and opposed to the war, he could see no way out until a stranger slipped him a calling card for an anti-draft network. Now on the run, he has the promise of a new identity and a new life, but if he is caught, the punishment will be brutal. Then he meets Bryher. Thrown together by war, united in grief, they take a chance on one another: a chance that could make or break them.

Review:
'Bedford is a clever, provocative writer, delivering writing that
is interesting, nervewracking, bold, unusual, stylish, never complacent and
always intelligent' -- Mary Loudon, The Times
'Comparisons with Ian McEwan and Iain Banks are inevitable but
also justified' -- Literary Review
`A thoroughly absorbing novel ... a very satisfying novel' -- Waterstone's Books Quarterly
`Sharp, funny, pitiless ... Bedford digs deeply into the morality
of bravery and cowardice, and the true price of following your conscience' -- The Times
`This novel thrills, it breaks your heart. Above all, it makes you
glad you learned to read' -- Yorkshire Evening Post
