Skios

Picture a sun-lit Greek island by the name of Skios. Here, Dr Norman Wilfred has been asked to give the Fred Toppler Foundation`s annual lecture, but rather than being the intimidating figure people were expecting, he turns out to be surprisingly youthful and charismatic.An acclaimed expert on the scientific organisation of science, Dr Wilfred soon casts a spell over his audience – particularly Nikki, the attractive organiser of the lecture. On the other side of the island meanwhile, Georgie, Nikki`s old friend from school, is about to start her holiday with a notoriously unreliable chancer – only he hasn`t showed up. A comedy of errors and misadventure has led to her being trapped inside her villa with a balding lecturer by the name of Dr Norman Wilfred, who appears to have lost all his possessions apart from some notes on the scientific organisation of science.Michael Frayn`s Man Booker-longlisted novel is a fast-paced wacky romantic comedy that promises a laugh on almost every page.
