Description
Stillicide by Cynan Jones is a powerful and moving story about love, loss, and survival in a world where water has become a commodity. As tensions rise over the construction of a gigantic Ice Dock, protests erupt and the lives of several individuals begin to intersect. A nurse on the brink of an affair, a boy who follows a stray dog out of the city, a woman lying dying, and her husband, a marksman, each face their own struggles in this fragile world. The will to survive is tested as they weigh the possibility of death against the possibility of life. This gripping tale from one of the most celebrated writers of his generation offers a glimpse into a tangible future, where the human spirit must find ways to persevere in the face of adversity.
