The year of the flood [a novel]

The long-awaited new novel from Margaret Atwood. The Year of the Flood is a dystopic masterpiece and a testament to her visionary power. The times and species have been changing at a rapid rate, and the social compact is wearing as thin as environmental stability. Adam One, the kindly leader of the God's Gardeners-- a religion devoted to the melding of science and religion, as well as the preservation of all plant and animal life-- has long predicted a natural disaster that will alter Earth as we know it.

  • "International best selling author Margaret Atwood infuses biblical references into her dystopic novel where mutation and environmental instability plague humans. Atwood weaves three distinct narratives (Adam One, leader of the uber-religious group God's Gardeners, speaks of God's imminent Waterless Flood; Ren, a trapeze dancer, finds herself in solitary confinement after exposure to disease; and Toby, a cynic, possesses a wealth of homeopathic knowledge) into her imaginative epic."
  • "Atwood pens the story of two women isolated as a genetically engineered plague destroys mankind. Both women have been members of God's Gardeners, an eco-cult that has long prophesied retribution for society's apathy and selfishness, and while they wait for signs of life from the outside they spend their days remembering past loves and not-quite-healed wounds."@en
