The Year Of The Flood (The Maddaddam Trilogy) - Softcover

Críticas

Prescient and inventive (Tracy-Ann Oberman)

** 'A tour de force . . . as pacy as a thriller . . . laced with Atwood's dry wit, and her savage, credible invention (Erica Wagner, The Times)

** 'Atwood knows how to show us ourselves, but the mirror she holds up to life does more than reflect . . . The Year of the Flood isn't prophecy, but it is eerily possible (Jeanette Winterson)

** 'Margaret Atwood has outdone - and outsung - herself this time. The Year of the Flood is at once a solemn praise song to human hope and a dead-serious poke at our capacity for self-destruction . . . Shows Atwood at the pinnacle of her prodigious creative power s' Elle (** 'A sharp observer of the female psyche . . . Atwood's richly fertile imagination plays to exuberant and often comic effect')

Caroline Moore, Daily Telegraph (** 'A gripping and visceral book that showcases her pure storytelling talents with energy, inventiveness and narrative panache')

Reseña del editor

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?
