Details

In the eighteenth glorious year of Enclosure, long after The Flood, a young girl named Honor and her parents are relocated to Island 365 in The Tranquil Sea. Life on the Island is Orderly and Predictable: the government writes (or rewrites) every book, Watchers patrol every neighborhood, and the Enclosure regulates the Island's weather. But Honor's parents are Unpredictable; they contradict the lessons Honor learns in school, regularly break curfew, and hide writing implements in their house. Honor pleads with them to be more like her, because she knows what happens to parents who don't follow the rules: they disappear and don't ever come back.
