“A wry, speculative debut novel.Cook’s unsettling, darkly humorous tale explores maternal love and man’s disdain for nature with impressive results.” - Publishers Weekly (Starred Review) Cook also raises uncomfortable questions: How far will a person go to survive, and what sacrifices will she or won’t she make for those she loves? This ecological horror story (particularly horrifying now) explores painful regions of the human heart.” - Kirkus Reviews (Starred Review) “Cook writes about desperate people in a world of ever shrinking livable space and increasingly questionable resources like air and water but also about the resilience of children who adapt, even enjoying circumstances that overwhelm the adults around them.
It’s a damning piece of horror cli-fi, but it’s also a gripping and profound examination of love and sacrifice.” - Buzzfeed “The emotional core of the story is the relationship between Bea and Agnes, whose perspectives drive the narrative. “Could this be the great climate change novel of our time? Buzz is building fast for the epic debut novel of Diane Cook.” - Entertainment Weekly
