Description
The Animals in That Country by Laura Jean McKay is a bold and exhilarating novel that explores what it means to be human. When animals start talking, we're not ready for what we'll learn.
Meet Jean, a hard-drinking, foul-mouthed woman who's never been good at getting on with other humans, but has a soft spot for the animals in her care. Her life is turned upside down when a pandemic sweeps the country, causing its victims to begin understanding the language of animals. As the flu progresses, the unstoppable voices become overwhelming, and many people begin to lose their minds.
As Jean sets off on a journey with her infected son and granddaughter, she finds herself in a stark, strange world where the animal apocalypse has isolated people from other species. With the help of Sue the dingo, Jean must navigate this new reality and confront what it means to be human - and what would happen if we finally understood what animals were saying.
