Michael & Rebecca Frayn

'One of our best contemporary writers.' Sunday Telegraph

'The most philosophical comic writer - and the most comic philosophical writer - of our
time.' Daily Mail

It's those around you who make you who you are.

Michael Frayn would like to say a brief word about a few of the people who have formed his own particular world. Some were friends, some were not; some were more than friends. Some have had a profound effect, some only a passing one. Some he now wonders if he ever really knew. But each has had a formative effect on his own remarkable life.

Among Others is a patchwork memoir of a lifetime's encounters. Truthful and loving, sometimes elegiac, sometimes comic, it is a celebration of the endlessly intriguing otherness of others.

Michael will be joined by his daughter, Rebecca. A filmmaker, screenwriter, environmental activist, and now novelist, Rebecca brings us Lost In Ibiza, an intimate meditation on family dynamics, set against the larger canvas of an island utopia that teeters on the brink of environmental catastrophe.

On her twenty-first birthday, environmental activist Alice learns that the man who has raised her is not her father after all. She is surprised to learn that her biological father, William, is a property developer based in Ibiza, where he is immersed in a huge deal that will further increase his wealth.

Alice and William meet for the first time in Ibiza, inadvertently finding themselves on a road trip across the island, unravelling secrets from the past and glimpses of the future as they go.

Seen from the perspective of four characters with widely divergent world views, Lost in Ibiza offers an intimate meditation on family dynamics, set against the larger canvas of an island utopia that teeters on the brink of environmental catastrophe.
