The Year of the Flood

A natural disaster has occurred and altered Earth as we know it, obliterating most human life. Two women have survived: Ren, a young trapeze dancer locked inside a high-end sex club, and Toby, a member of a religion devoted to preserving all plant and animal life barricaded inside a luxurious spa. As they navigate this strange new world filled with gene-spliced life forms and corrupt policing forces, they must decide on their next move. Will they stay locked away or venture out into the unknown? Atwood's "The Year of the Flood" is a dark, violent, and inventive portrayal of a post-apocalyptic world.
