A Virago title

The sun brightens in the east, reddening the blue-grey haze that marks the distant ocean. The vultures roosting on the hydro poles fan out their wings to dry them. the air smells faintly of burning. The waterless flood - a manmade plague - has ended the world.

But two young women have survived: Ren, a young dancer trapped where she worked, in an upmarket sex club (the cleanest dirty girls in town); and Toby, who watches and waits from her rooftop garden. Is anyone else out there?

Reviews

  • ‘A tour de force . . . as pacy as a thriller . . . laced with Atwood’s dry wit, and her savage, credible invention’ Erica Wagner, The Times
  • ‘A gripping and visceral book that showcases her pure storytelling talents with energy, inventiveness and narrative panache’ Michiko Kakutani, New York Times
