Description
Set in a near-future America reshaped by environmental upheaval and political division, this ambitious literary novel follows a young woman whose search for a missing loved one takes her across a fractured Appalachian landscape. As she navigates borders, danger, and communities struggling to survive, the journey becomes an exploration of devotion, displacement, and the fragile boundaries between freedom and control. Blending speculative fiction with an intimate love story, the novel offers a haunting meditation on climate crisis, resilience, and what people will risk for connection. Mesha Maren’s vivid, atmospheric prose brings the American landscape and its unsettled future sharply to life.
