This gripping story is a twist on the usual dystopian theme because it is set, not in the future, but in an alternative 1950s in England.
Standish Treadwell, a dyslexic with different colored eyes, lives in a society where being different can mean your death. The government of the Motherland control people by forcing them to live in poverty in ghettoes. People often disappear, never to be seen again. This has happened to Standish's parents and when his best friend Hector also disappears, Standish is determined to take action against the Motherland - as hopeless as the case may seem.
A disturbing but enthralling read!
