Welcome to London, but not as you know it. Oxford Street burned for three weeks; Regent's Park has been bombed; the British Museum is occupied by those with nowhere else to go. Lalla has grown up sheltered from the chaos, but now she's sixteen, her father decides it's time to use their escape route - a ship big enough to save five hundred people. Once on board, as day follows identical day, Lalla's unease grows. Where are they going? What does her father really want? What is the price of salvation?

About the Author:
Antonia Honeywell studied English at Manchester University and worked at the Natural History and Victoria and Albert Museums in London, running creative writing workshops and education programmes for children, before training as a teacher. During her ten years teaching English, drama and film studies, she wrote a musical, and a play which was performed at the Edinburgh Festival. She has four young children and lives in Buckinghamshire. The Ship is her first novel. www.antoniahoneywell.com @antonia_writes
Review:
"a clever reframing of sci-fi's old 'happy dream or tough real life?' trope." * THE SUN * Topical and thought-provoking stuff * BIG ISSUE IN THE NORTH * Honeywell makes no secret of her environmental concerns, but rather than coming across as preachy, it gives this coming-of-age tale a real punch. -- Jonathan Hatfull * SCIFINOW * A thought-provoking novel that will without doubt spark debate. * CLOSER * a great idea... some great touches * PRESS ASSOCIATION * It's taut and full of suspense and keeps the reader guessing all the way through * VERITY READS BOOKS * Above all, it's a story that has the power to stay with you, to ask questions beyond the last word * VANISREADING * I have not often come across books that are as powerful and thought-provoking as this * COSMOCHICKLITAN * Antonia Honeywell is an exciting new talent. The Ship is original and quite brilliant. * RANDOM THINGS THROUGH MY LETTERBOX * The Ship is a wonderful first book - framing the utopian/dystopian genre in a coming of age story. It is both achingly sad and profoundly troubling * CLOUDBANKS & SHIMBLESHANKS * A wonderfully enchanting novel, with a theme I found as thought-provoking as they come * REVIEWED THE BOOK * Honeywell's writing is clean and crisp, with a strong voice and great sense of emotion and atmosphere ... This is a nugget of delight from an impressive first-time author * HOUSE OF BLOG * The Ship is a thought-provoking, claustrophobic novel. As I read, the world on the ship would shrink in on me, then suddenly expand to fill the horizon. I don't think I've read a novel that has had such an impact on me for a long time ... I defy anyone not to fall in love with this novel. * NORTHERN EDITORIAL * A disturbing story from a bright new talent -- Salley Vickers 'A hugely gripping depiction of a future world, The Ship is all the more chilling for its sense of authenticity. Honeywell has written a story that will make you question the value we place on love and freedom and what we'd be willing to sacrifice for those precious commodities ourselves. I couldn't put it down' -- Kerry Hudson, author of Thirst It's haunted me since I finished it. * RICHARD EYRE * An outstanding read from a strikingly original new talent. The Ship takes us on a luxury voyage into the future with a chosen elite - but the passengers don't know where they're going, and there's a dissenter on board. A brilliant, disturbing book that makes you question everything about the way we live now. -- Maggie Gee The Ship is tense, engaging and emotionally charged: I devoured this novel -- Helen Dunmore A beautiful futuristic fable with huge power to haunt and disturb -- M. R. Carey, author of The Girl with All the Gifts An ambitious debut that takes the tale of the Ark and updates it for a world bedevilled by global warming . . . will send shivers up your spine. -- Erica Wagner * HARPER'S BAZAAR * As engrossing as it is chilling, this potent first novel fuses an apocalyptic coming-of-age story with a fierce interrogation of what it means to be truly alive -- Hepzibah Anderson * DAILY MAIL * Addictive and thought-provoking * ELLE * The Hunger Games meets the London riots on board Noah's Ark 20 years from now, but don't underestimate its originality. Read it and be challenged. -- Fiona Wilson * THE TIMES * Honeywell's debut is ambitious and well written and provides endless possibilities for debate. * THE GUARDIAN *
