After the Flood, by Kassandra MontagRead about another entry on the list.
Kassandra Montag’s speculative, action-packed thriller takes place in a watery post-apocalyptic nightmare-scape. It’s narrated by Myra, a woman on a quest to find the child that was stolen by her own husband. Her heart is filled with rage at her betrayals and a desire to put right all that has been done to her. Her dangerous quest is complicated by the presence of her other child, seven year old Pearl, and the group of fellow survivors they join up with along the way. It’s a harrowing and intense ride that’s cathartic and also strangely hopeful.
After the Flood is among Tosca Lee's seven top books from the end of the world.
