Arkady

Brothers Jackson and Frank live on the margins of a big urban sprawl.

From abandoned tower blocks to gleaming skyscrapers, their city is brutal, beautiful and divided.

As anti-government protests erupt across the teeming metropolis, the brothers sail in search of the Red Citadel and its promise of a radical new way of life.

A striking portrait of the precarity of modern urban living, and of the fierce bonds that grow between brothers, Patrick Langley's debut Arkady is a brilliant coming-of-age novel, as brimming with vitality as the city itself.
