Description

The Dark Flood Rises by Margaret Drabble is a masterful exploration of life's final reckoning. As Fran navigates her twilight years, she refuses to go quietly into the night. With a fierce determination, she dyes her hair, sips red wine, and drives restlessly around the country, all in an effort to cling to life. As those closest to her seek their own paths to happiness, Fran's story becomes a poignant inquiry into what makes a good life - and a good death. By turns joyous, profound, darkly sardonic, and moving, this novel raises essential questions about the human experience. Through its nuanced characters and unflinching gaze, The Dark Flood Rises is a deeply affecting portrayal of one woman's struggle to find meaning in her final days.
