Longlisted for the Desmond Elliott Prize 2017.
A fabulous premise, step inside, and a bold, captivating read awaits. Set at some point in the future, not too far away, sits The Transition, an alternative to prison, and a one stop shop to fix all your problems… you just need to allow The Transition to run your life for six months. This is clever writing, I found myself slowly sliding from known to unknown; so much connects to the here and now, it almost comes as a shock when Luke Kennard flings little snippets of the future towards you.
Surprising traps were set in place, and as my mind stumbled, I questioned, probed, considered. Relationships sit at the heart of this story, as they are tested to the limit and the story becomes progressively darker, the ending leaves certain threads deliberately unexplored. ’The Transition’ startles and shocks, what a wonderfully arresting and impressive read this is. ~ Liz Robinson
