Description
Blaze Island A Novel by Catherine Bush is a climate-themed novel inspired by Shakespeare. When a Category Five hurricane sweeps up the eastern seaboard of North America, it leaves devastation in its wake and brings a stranger to the doorstep of an isolated house on Blaze Island. The island's resident, Milan Wells, has fled with his daughter Miranda years before, desperate to protect her from the world's worsening weather. As the stranger's arrival breaks open Miranda's world, she begins to question what her father is up to with his mysterious weather experiments. In the aftermath of the storm, she finds herself in a world altered so quickly that she hardly knows what has happened or what the unpredictable future will bring. This novel explores themes of climate change, family secrets and the power of nature.
