Just reluctantly finished reading,,,,This is a credible, moving, insightful read that is my second Dystopian novel. Both this and Station Eleven are heartfelt and a tribute to the Good in our world. Almost every moment there is an ethical or moral decision to be made and the author goes deep in background to come to these decisions. I especially liked how realistic the Mother-Daughter relationship is conceived, and how Primary it is to Both. This is also a book about dealing with deep Grief,,,,,and how Grief follows you and bends you. I am so glad you steered me here!

In reply to Angela. Scary, right. That was part of what I liked so much about this story. Even though it was over a hundred years in the future, it felt more like a hundred years in the past.

In reply to susan. I'm going to take a look at Severance. Like you, I like a dystopian novel every now and again.

In reply to Valerie S.. Thanks for sharing with me. I listened and found it all very interesting that the idea originated with a dream.

In reply to Katie. I'm sure it's equally good in print. Enjoy, Katie!

This has been getting such buzz lately, so I’m glad to hear you enjoyed it! I love a good dystopian novel, and I always have those thoughts, too, when reading a post-apocalyptic book, of “OMG, this could really happen!”

Great, I usually like these dystopian novels, so I put myself on the list for After the Flood at the Library. I recently listened to Severance which is dystopian and pretty good too. I can see the earth being covered in water. Hmm. bleak.

I’m so glad you loved this novel – I did too! It’s especially amazing that it’s a debut!

This sounds good, Susie!! No audio versions in my library, so I’m going the hardcover route. 🙂
