FICTION ASSOCIATION 2021 BEST NOVEL For fans of Matt Haig, Stuart
Turton and Bridget Collins comes a sweeping historical adventure from
the Sunday Times bestselling author of The Watchmaker of Filigree
Street 'Original, joyous and horrifying, The Kingdoms is an
awe-inspiring feat of imagination and passion which had me in tears by
the end' - Catriona Ward Come home, if you remember The postcard has
been held at the sorting office for ninety-one years, waiting to be
delivered to Joe Tournier. On the front is a lighthouse – Eilean
Mor, in the Outer Hebrides. Joe has never left England, never even
left London. He is a British slave, one of thousands throughout the
French Empire. He has a job, a wife, a baby daughter. But he also has
flashes of a life he cannot remember and of a world that never existed
– a world where English is spoken in England, and not French. And
now he has a postcard of a lighthouse built just six months ago, that
was first written nearly one hundred years ago, by a stranger who
seems to know him very well. Joe's journey to unravel the truth will
take him from French-occupied London to a remote Scottish island, and
back through time itself as he battles for his life – and for a very
different future.
