Jason Arthur has bought for Wm Heinemann an ambitious novel by Sam Mills, whose previous books include the young adult novel A Nicer Way To Die (Faber). The Last Days of England is set a few years in the future, when America declares war on Britain. Arthur says: “I’m sure the publication of this hugely ambitious novel will be a major publishing event. Sam’s writing is assured, richly imaginative and utterly compelling.”Heinemann has UK and Commonwealth rights (exc Canada) through Simon Trewin at PFD. The novel is due in autumn 2008.
