Each time we envision that feeling of the dystopian looming over us Like a white, toxic nuclear sky Science fiction made crude realism to a term seen as indeterminate as it is true.
Given our inability to step on the brakes in the unbridled consumer evolution (ratified in a forced confinement by the pandemic, in which the broken seams of our globalization dependent on total commercialism are discovered), what Maja Lunde tells us in this novel is one more option in the inertia of the self-destruction of this planet.
A revealing novel about the effects of climate change.
In 2019, Signe, a seventy-year-old activist, embarks on a dangerous journey to cross an entire ocean by sailboat. She has a unique and all-consuming mission: to find Magnus, her former lover, who is depleting a local glacier to sell the ice to Saudi Arabia as a luxury item.
In 2041, David flees with his young daughter, Lou, from southern Europe ravaged by war and drought. They have become separated from the rest of their family and are on a desperate search to find each other again when they find Signe's abandoned sailing ship in a dry garden in France, miles from the nearest shore.
When David and Lou discover the personal effects of Signe's travels, their survival journey intertwines with Signe's to weave an inspiring and moving story about the power of nature and the human spirit.
