In a future America ravaged by an unknown catastrophe, a young boy named Franklin embarks on a perilous journey across a land stripped of its former glory. As he navigates a fractured society where technology has regressed and communities cling to survival, Franklin seeks a legendary sanctuary known as the Pesthouse. This novel explores themes of hope, resilience, and the enduring human spirit in the face of overwhelming adversity, all rendered in Crace's signature lyrical prose.
