Descrizione
On the remote island of Futuria, a former prison transformed into an exclusive amusement park for the elite, the year is 1902, and a world of extravagance awaits. Suzanne Wouda intricately weaves a tale of social disparity and hidden truths as the wealthy indulge in whimsical attractions, blissfully unaware of the island's darker past. The vibrant atmosphere contrasts sharply with the shadows lurking beneath the surface, where secrets of confinement and a haunting history begin to unravel.
Amidst the laughter and excitement, tensions rise, revealing the consequences of extravagant living. The park serves as both an escape and a trap for its visitors, with each ride a reminder of the repressed lives once held captive within the island's walls. Characters grapple with moral dilemmas, as privilege clashes with the realities of their newfound paradise.
As the story unfolds, a sense of foreboding begins to permeate the joyful façade of Futuria. The richly drawn characters are caught in a web of intrigue, forcing them to confront their own identities and values while navigating the complexities of a society marked by inequality. Wouda’s narrative invites readers to reflect on the meaning of freedom and the sacrifices that come with it.
