Description

Salvation City by Sigrid Nunez is a moving and thought-provoking novel that explores the aftermath of a flu pandemic through the eyes of a young boy. Orphaned at thirteen, he finds safety with an evangelical pastor and his wife, but soon discovers the cost of this peace and how it challenges everything he knows. As Cole navigates this new world, he must confront the true meaning of salvation and what it means to be human. This is a story of love, betrayal, and forgiveness, blending a deeply affecting portrait of one young boy's transformation with a profound meditation on belief and heroism. With its gorgeously spare prose, Nunez crafts a strange and compelling narrative that will leave readers reconsidering the world around them.
