Nominated for the Galaxy National Book Awards.
The Dandelion Tree is told in three stories.
Book 1 follows one man's journey as he struggles to come to terms with the trauma that has reshaped his life. Seeking refuge in his mind, he retreats into a memory of a tree from his childhood called The Dandelion Tree which holds the key to understanding his life.
In Book 2 it is Britain 2034 and overtime for married couples is banned, there is enforced viewing of family television (much of it repeats of old shows from the sixties and seventies), monitored family meal-times and a coming of age where twenty-five year-olds are automatically assigned a spouse by the state computer if they have failed to marry. Only the Overtime Underground network resists. Many live in fear of the Family Protection Agency, a special police division enforcing the strict legislation that has been introduced to protect the family unit. Combining dark humour with a vision of the future that inverts the classic dystopian nightmare of Orwell's 1984.
Book 3 is a chillingly addictive journey into the world of brain manipulation. A shimmering orb is brought into being that expands out destroying the Earth. Inside the Orb is paradise, a beautiful, sun-drenched, lush environment where humanity and nature fuse and beauty, love and hope are woven into the landscape.
