Britain is awash, the sea creeps into the land, brambles and forest swamp derelict towns. Food production has moved overseas and people are forced to move to the cities for work. The countryside is empty. A chorus, the herd voice of feral cows, wander this newly wild land watching over changing times, speaking with love and exasperation.

Jesse and his puppy Mister Maliks roam the woods until his family are forced to leave for London. Lee runs from the terrible restrictions of the White Town where he grew up. Isolde leaves London on foot, walking the abandoned A12 in search of the truth about her mother.

'A compelling fable of decline, a lament for a way of life, and a warning about what society is already becoming. It is a capsule of England and its dystopian present ... as sad and angry as it is memorable'

Ronan Hession

'Salt Lick is that rare beast - imaginative, risky storytelling where every sentence is a gift'

Lulu Allison grew up in the Chilterns then attended Central St Martin's School of Art. She spent a number of footloose years travelling and living abroad in Germany, Amsterdam, Fiji and New Zealand. In 2013, what began as an art project took her into writing and she unexpectedly discovered what she should have been doing all along. The project became her first novel, Twice the Speed of Dark. She has two daughters and lives with her husband in Brighton. @LuluAllison77
