When a giant wave destroys his entire nation—his family and everyone he has ever known—Mau finds himself totally alone. Until he meets Daphne, daughter of a colonial governor and the sole survivor from a shipwreck. They have no common language, no common culture—but together they discover some remarkable things—like how to milk a pig and why spitting in beer is a good idea—and must try and forge a new kind of nation. Then other survivors arrive to take refuge on the island, and not all of them are friendly.

In 'Nation,' Pratchett brings us a novel that is both witty and wise, encompassing themes of death and nationhood, while also being extremely funny.
