Description
A dystopian reimagining of Wide Sargasso Sea, set in the hot, luscious landscape of Andalusia. This claustrophobic tale follows Pearl, a young woman living in a world divided between surface dwellers and those who inhabit the Upper Settlement, a ring perched at the edge of the Earth's atmosphere. After the ravages of the Green Winter, Earth is a place of deep jungles and monstrous animals. The last remnants of humanity are forced to live in isolation, with the surface dwellers and the people of the Upper Settlement existing in separate worlds. Pearl's life is turned upside down when she is promised to a starborn called Arlo, and her understanding of the world is forever changed. This literary fever dream explores themes of self-destruction and transformation, set against the backdrop of a ravaged planet.
