Fisher indicts all of us yet still offers hope that we may change the ending of this story' Olivia Sudjic \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eA young man is found brutally murdered in the middle of the snowed-in village of Wivenhoe. Over his body stands another man, axe in hand. The gathered villagers must deal with the consequences of an act that no-one tried to stop. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWIVENHOE is a haunting novel set in an alternate present, in a world that is slowly waking up to the fact that it is living through an environmental disaster. Taking place over twenty-four hours and told through the voices of a mother and her adult son, we see how one small community reacts to social breakdown and isolation. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eSamuel Fisher imagines a world, not unlike our own, struck down and on the edge of survival.
