Coldwater Bay - a tiny village tucked away on the southern coast of the Isle of Wight - suddenly finds itself being besieged by Africans who have gone there for that very purpose. A racist doctor on holiday, two of his love-sick teenage wards, and the Africans' inside man in the village watch events unfold from their very different viewpoints, in this ambitious, original novel which steers a captivating path between the comic and the horrific.
