{"product_id":"9781471193828","title":"Dreamland","description":"Chance is born four years from now, in a London close to home — where social divides are deepening, and climate change is playing its hand.Chance, her mother and brother are moved from cramped hotel room to cramped hotel room in emergency accommodation. Until a right-wing foundation funding ‘re-locations’ gives the family a cash grant to move out of London, to the seaside town of Margate. Margate —  famous for Turner sunsets and rollercoaster-ish highs and lows — has changed. The down-from-Londoners have moved back to the city, sun-curled For Sale signs litter the streets, hotels are empty. And the sea is higher. It’s higher everywhere.As London distances itself from the rest of the country, Chance builds a home in Margate - navigating a turbulent relationship with her mother’s new boyfriend Kole, looking after her new baby brother Blue, and breaking into abandoned houses with her best friend Davey. Chance is about to meet a girl who couldn’t be more different to her — and she’s about to fall in love in a way that will change her world, and her understanding of the world around her, forever.Taking place over the next 20 years, Dreamland is a unique post-Brexit Brit-stopia — a state of the nation novel which paints a recognisable and all-too-believable close future of Britain based on social policies already in play.Set against a backdrop of rising populism, austerity and a creeping mainstreaming of social engineering and eugenics, Dreamland is a story of love, loss, friendship, adventure, and, against all odds, hope.","brand":"Rosa Rankin-Gee","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46777788956990,"sku":"9781471193828","price":337.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4357\/7662\/products\/9781471193828_7fb76eee-e969-4c17-9809-ce256e13ff7f.jpg?v=1707477696","url":"https:\/\/exclusivebooks.co.za\/products\/9781471193828","provider":"Exclusive Books Online","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
