«Skios» is the satirical novel by Michael Frayn, published by Faber & Faber in paperback (278 pages, in English).
On the Greek island of Skios, the Fred Toppler Foundation awaits the celebrated Dr Norman Wilfred. The man who arrives is young and charming, and the organiser Nikki is fascinated. Her friend Georgie, in a remote villa, waits in vain for a known rogue; in his place an old man with the same name appears. A comedy of mistaken identities.
Standalone novel, not part of a series. It was shortlisted for the 2012 Booker Prize.
For readers of comedy and satire; a novel of misunderstandings suitable for book clubs and for those who enjoy Frayn's humour.
Michael Frayn, FRSL is an English playwright and novelist. He is best known as the author of the farce Noises Off and the dramas Copenhagen, and Democracy.
