Description
The Light Pirate by Lily Brooks-Dalton is a hopeful story of survival and resilience set in a near-future world where devastating weather patterns and rising sea levels are causing gradual havoc on the state's infrastructure. A powerful hurricane approaches a small town on the southeastern coast, and the lives of its residents are forever changed. As the storm hits, a young girl named Wanda is born to a pregnant woman, Frida, who goes into premature labor. Wanda grows up in a world that is rapidly changing, and she must adapt to the people who stayed behind in a place abandoned by civilization. She loses family, gains community, and ultimately seeks adventure, love, and purpose in a place remade by nature. The story is told in four parts, mirroring the rhythms of the elements and the sometimes quick, sometimes slow dissolution of the world as we know it.
