On the other side of the world, Daphne, a young girl of minor royal blood, is washed ashore on the same island after her ship is destroyed by the same wave. Separated by culture, language, and custom, Mau and Daphne must overcome their differences and forge a new community as other survivors arrive. Through humor, deep philosophical inquiry, and a gripping adventure, the novel explores themes of tradition, faith, and what it truly means to build a nation from the ruins of the past.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Broadhursts Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54012413116755,"sku":"4304","price":49.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0960\/1469\/6787\/files\/20260616_110621.jpg?v=1781625637","url":"https:\/\/broadhurstsbooks.com\/products\/nation-terry-pratchett","provider":"Broadhursts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
