Description
In a far-future world shaped by the ruins of a long-ago catastrophe, Rush—born among the Truthful Speakers—grows up surrounded by legends of the lost age and the saints who once walked the earth. His love for a remarkable woman draws him beyond the boundaries of his community and into a journey of discovery, where ancient mysteries and unfamiliar societies challenge everything he believes. As he becomes involved with Dr. Boots’s List, Rush confronts questions of memory, faith, love, and what it means to become more than human. Lyrical, dreamlike, and richly imaginative, the novel blends post-apocalyptic speculation with the structure of a coming-of-age myth.
