Liam Brown - Skin (2nd Hand Paperback)
ISBN / GTIN-13 : 9781789550405
Synopsis
A strange virus is sweeping the globe.
Humans have become allergic to one another.
Simply standing next to somebody could be a death sentence.
A kiss could be fatal . . .
Angela is a woman trying to get by in this bewildering new world. Though she still lives with her husband and children, they lead separate lives.
Confined to their rooms, they communicate via their computers and phones. In some ways, very little has changed.
That is, until she spots a mysterious stranger walking through town without even a face mask for protection. A man, it seems, immune to this disease. A man unlike anyone else she knows. A man it might just be safe to touch.
. . . How close did we come to this being reality?

External Reviews
'Gripping and thought provoking . . . I loved every moment of it' - Hannah Persaud.
'A lyrical dystopian fever dream' - Margot Douaihy.
'If Brave New World and 1984 were combined and whisked into this century, they couldn't be more impressive than Liam Brown's superb story' - Celia Anderson.
"This is a clever, timely and compelling novel aptly titled after the largest organ of the body the characters are told they can’t touch. Plus it’s just a really great story. Engaging, sad, poignant, interesting and original. Plus it entertains while making you think, which is the best kind of entertainment."
"I read this book in 2019 - 18 months later it looks ridiculously prescient which has lead me to move it up a ranking as it now (despite its cliffhanger ending) makes a fascinating comparison to our own world - as unlike most pandemic style dystopias this is a book which is almost entirely around lockdown and not around the pandemic." - Goodreads Reviews.
