Winner of the Writers’ Guild Best First Novel Award 2020
cygnet /ˈsɪɡnɪt/ n. a young swan.
The Kid doesn’t know where her parents are. They left with a promise to come back months ago, and now their seventeen-year-old daughter is stranded on Swan Island, home to an eccentric old age separatist community which shuns life on the mainland for a haven which is rapidly sinking into the ocean. The Kid’s presence is an unwelcome reminder of the life they left behind – and one they want rid of.
Cygnet is the story of a young woman battling the thrashing waves of loneliness and depression, seeking her own voice in a world that’s crumbling around her.
