The Year of the Flood

Author: Margaret Atwood

In this haunting tale, Atwood weaves a dystopian narrative that lingers long after the final page. Set in a world ravaged by environmental catastrophe, we follow two survivors navigating the aftermath of a pandemic. Their intertwined stories reveal a society’s collapse through flashbacks, painting a chilling picture of corporate greed and genetic manipulation. Atwood’s prose is both lyrical and sharp, her characters achingly human. I found myself utterly absorbed, pondering our own fragile ecosystem and the resilience of hope in the darkest times.

To stay human is to break a limitation.
