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?

My first Atwood book was The Blind Assassin and I have been fond of her books since.

I decided to pass this book on as I am finding too many thick books and have to let go of some.

WILD RELEASE NOTES:
Release #272 for 2023.
Caught at Cafe130.
#2 of a trilogy. Atwood presents another vision here: a vision of how we can (or how we would) work towards preventing environmental collapse. It’s the very best of speculative fiction because it plays with real world ideas and fears. There’s nothing in here that is implausible. Unlike the harsh scientific solution to world problems she wrote of in the first book of the trilogy, the ideas she discusses here are more compassionate. Thought provoking.
