Seagulls Gather | Daz4Zoe by Robert Swindells Book Review @SeagullsGather | Uploaded June 2022 | Updated October 2024, 13 hours ago.
My review of Daz4zoe by Robert Swindells. This 1990 book is occasionally taught in secondary schools because it has an overt political agenda. Swindells did much the same with his far more successful novel Stone Cold which won the Carnegie Medal. This book employs the same split first-person narrative, with both Daz and Zoe offering their stories. A future, British dystopia that warns 'this future could come true' in the prologue, Daz4Zoe is not about zombies and if Zoe had been called Zad the title with have been palindromic, a wasted opportunity.
