Description
Emergency is a novel about the interconnected lives that shape our world. Stuck at home alone under lockdown, a woman reflects on her 1990s childhood in rural Yorkshire, where the boundaries between humans and nature are blurred.
In this story, the rhythms of rural life - from the hunting of kestrels to the struggles of local farmers - are intertwined with global events that circulate around the world. As pesticides spread and money flows across the planet, the lives of individuals become inextricably linked.
Brilliantly written, surprising, evocative and unsettling, Emergency reinvents the pastoral novel for the climate change era, offering a powerful exploration of our place within the natural world.
