Wood, Naomi
Entry updated 12 September 2022. Tagged: Author.
(1983- ) UK author whose first novel, The Godless Boys (2011), is an Alternate History set in a Religion-dominated 1986 England; the Jonbar Point instigating the tale is unclear, though perhaps the absence of any reference to World War Two may be an index. The tale is mostly set on an offshore Island, where atheists have been exiled ever since the 1940s. Wood's second novel, Mrs Hemingway (2014), is nonfantastic. [JC]
