The Year of the FloodBy: Margaret Atwood
In this profoundly imagined new book, Margaret Atwood revisits the world of Oryx and Crake and its catastrophe. The Year of the Flood begins just after the catastrophe and then tracks back in time over the corrupt and degenerate world that preceded it. The novel centers on the lives of Ren and Toby, female members of a fundamentalist sect of Christian environmentalists, the God's Gardeners. Led by the charismatic Adam One, whose sermons and eco-hymns punctuate the narrative, the God's Gardeners are preparing for life after the prophesied Waterless Flood.
