Description
In a world where the glaciers have melted, a young girl's connection to water becomes a lifeline for her community. On the roof of the American Museum of Natural History, a small settlement has been formed, where the rule is to take only what is needed. As the city floods, Nonie and her family must escape on the swollen Hudson River, carrying a book that holds their records of the past. Their journey takes them to communities that have adapted in unexpected ways, and they must fight to create a new world that honors their heritage. Inspired by the stories of those who have protected their cultures and knowledge in the face of adversity, this novel is a meditation on what we save from collapse and an adventure story of danger, storms, and survival. With its vivid descriptions and nail-biting adventure, All the Water in the World is a gripping tale of hope and resilience. In this powerful and thought-provoking novel, the author explores the importance of community, love, and work in the face of uncertainty. With its unique blend of science, history, and adventure, this book is a worthwhile read for anyone who loves literary fiction and is looking for a story that will stay with them long after they finish reading.
