Product Description

Review
"There aren't many novelists whose latest offering would make me abandon everything, but Shena Mackay is one." -- "Mail on Sunday"
"She writes like an angel wielding a scalpel, dissecting her characters with sublime, sharp-edged prose." -- "Guardian"

Product Description
Celeste Zylberstein and Francis Campion are the two original inhabitants left at the Nautilus, an artistic community in the 1930s. Gus Crabb, a bric-a-brac dealer is the only other resident until Rowena Snow moves in seeking her own Utopia or the Heligoland of her childhood imagination.

5.0 out of 5 stars Totally disagree with other review, 4 Feb 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: Heligoland (Paperback)
Heligoland is one of Shena Mackay's most accomplished novels and is a beautiful meditation on friendship, family and belonging. The characters are deftly drawn and the book is infused with a tender humour. Rightly shortlisted for the Whitbread and Orange prizes, Heligoland is one of my books of the year.

2.0 out of 5 stars Would have been better as a short story, 30 Sep 2003
This had no plot whatsoever and seemed to be an exercise in creative writing. The place names in the story (most of it was based in and around Norwood, South London)seemed thrown in like she was name dropping. It would only appeal to those who lived in this area as other than that there was no story and I found it very hard to finish.
