Sarah wakes up and can't remember who she is and how she ended up on a lovely sailboat anchored off an island in the Canadian Pacific. She knows how to sail, she knows how to cook and clean and do all the things she needs to do to live, but she can't remember anything at all about her identity or personal past. The year is 2038 and the climate crisis has given cooler Canada a refugee problem at the southern border. Fortunately the identity papers on the boat are in order, so Sarah tentatively embarks on a mission to find herself. I liked this book a lot but thought that the ending needed a bit more drama. The events are exciting but the writing didn't pulse when it should have. ( ) no reviews | add a review
"The truth doesn't always set you free... Ess wakes up alone on a sailboat in the remote Pacific Northwest with no memory of who she is or how she got there. She finds a note, but it's more warning than comfort: Start over. Don't make yourself known. Don't look back. Ess must have answers. She sails over a turbulent ocean to a town hundreds of miles away that, she hopes, might offer insight. The chilling clues she uncovers point to a desperate attempt at erasing her former life. But why? And someone is watching her...someone who knows she must never learn her truth. In Ess's world, the earth is precariously balanced at a climate tipping point, and she is perched at the edge of a choice: which life does she want? The one taken from her-and the dangerous secret that was buried-or the new one she can make for herself? A galvanizing riddle that is just as unmooring as it seems, this sharp character-driven odyssey explores a future challenged by our quickly changing world and the choices we must make to save what matters most"-- No library descriptions found. |
