Description
After years of slowly overtaking the continent, America is now an archipelago of mountaintop colonies surrounded by open water. Civilization as it once was is gone. Bands of pirates roam the waters, searching for goods and women to breed. Myra's life has been marked by loss and longing since her youngest daughter, Row, was taken from her eight years ago. Now, at a time when the floodwaters are still rising, Myra sets out on a perilous journey with her precocious daughter Pearl to find the girl she knows still lives. They join forces with a larger ship, a band of Americans like them, and embark on a treacherous voyage into the icy northern seas. As they navigate this new world, Myra finds herself bonding with her fellow seekers, men, women, and children who hope to build a safe haven together in this dangerous new world. With its inventive and evocative imagination, After the Flood is an unforgettable epic saga that signals the arrival of an extraordinary new talent.
