"The Master-Knot of Human Fate" is a novel by author Ellis Meredith. It follows the life of a couple struggling to survive on an island. After an apocalyptic event, Adam and Robin find themselves as the sole inhabitants of an island, albeit a formerly inhabited one. Now as the former city dwellers learn to farm land and rear livestock, they struggle to come to terms with their new lives working the land. And that's a burden that will put a strain on their relationship...

A most remarkable and interesting book; it is striking and has a singular purity of style. The circumstances surrounding the man and woman who live its chapters are far removed from the commonplace, in fact entirely and frankly improbably, yet it seems to be the consensus of opinion that the author has succeeded in making her story intensely human

Excerpt from The Master-Knot of Human Fate Up from Earth's Centre through the Seventh Gate I rose, and on the Throne of Saturn sate, And many a Knot unravel'd by the Road; But not the Master-knot of Human Fate. Ah Love! could you and I with Him conspire To grasp this sorry Scheme of Things entire, Would not we shatter it to bits - and then Re-mould it nearer to the Heart's Desire!
