I have started The Year of the Flood by Margaret Atwood. This is my next book club book. I have read some of the author's work before, but not for many years. It is quite a big book, but an initial glance suggests that it will not be a struggle. Here's the blurb:
The sun brightens in the east, reddening the blue-grey haze that marks the distant ocean. The vultures roosting on the hydro poles fan out their wings to dry them. the air smells faintly of burning. The waterless flood – a manmade plague – has ended the world.
But two young women have survived: Ren, a young dancer trapped where she worked, in an upmarket sex club (the cleanest dirty girls in town); and Toby, who watches and waits from her rooftop garden. Is anyone else out there?
