Until he meets Daphne, daughter of a colonial Governor and the sole survivor from a shipwreck. They have no common language, no common culture - but together they discover some remarkable things - like how to milk a pig and why spitting in beer is a good idea - and must try and forge a new kind of Nation. Then other survivors arrive to take refuge on the island, and not all of them are friendly. In "Nation", Pratchett brings us a novel that is both witty and wise, encompassing themes of death and nationhood, while also being extremely funny. | By: | Terry Pratchett | | Pages: | 409 | | Publisher: | Corgi Childrens | | Format: | Paperback | | Isbn: | 0-552-55779-X | | Isbn13: | 978-0-552-55779-5 |
