This chilling mystery by the Nobel Prize-winning author focuses on the half-hidden evil so convincingly evoked in Lord of the Flies.
At the height of the London blitz, a naked child steps out of an all-consuming fire. MiracuLousLy saved yet hideously scarred, tormented at school and at work, Matty becomes a wanderer, a seeker after some unknown redemption. Two more lost children await him: twins as exquisite as they are LoveLess. Toni dabbles in political violence, Sophy in sexual tyranny. As Golding weaves their destinies together, as he draws them toward a final conflagration, his book Lights up both the inner and outer darknesses of our time.
