Rosa Rankin-Geeâs first novel,
The Last Kings of Sark, explored the fraught emotional fallout of an idyllic summer in which three young people run wild together on the small Channel island. While two of the trio are quick to move on from the experience, Jude finds herself mired in the past, unable to let go.
Keenly attuned once again to the heady sensations of those caught between adolescence and adulthood, Rankin-Geeâs second novel,
Dreamland, is an equally enthralling coming-of-age story. But whereas in
The Last Kings of Sark her characters retreated from the wider world, no such respite is possible here. Jude was mourning the end of something almost impossibly intimate, but

What is your typical day like now?
I usually wake around seven, answer emails and messages on social media, read the news (The New York Times, The Washington Post, and The Wall Street Journal, in addition to whatever else catches my eye, trying to get a balance of left and right editorializing). I usually watch a documentary from the PBS streaming channel, which is wonderful. I will often write a bit on one of the projects Iâm working on. Most days I have Zoom meetings, interviews, podcasts, or rehearsals for various projects. Then I catch up on my Cameos, which is a great way to connect with fans.

Weâve been tearing through all the best streaming showsâweâve done
