This richly imaginative, immersive, and âelectrifyingly relevantâ (William Kent Krueger, New York Times bestselling author) debut novel follows a shocking disappearance amid the climate crisis of our near futureâperfect for fans of Station Eleven and The Last Thing He Told Me.
Emi Vargas, whose parents helped save the world, is tired of being told how lucky she is to have been born after the climate crisis. But following the public assassination of a dozen climate criminals, Emiâs mother, Kristina, disappears as a possible suspect, and Emiâs illusions of utopia are shattered. A determined Emi and her father, Larch, journey from their home in Nuuk, Greenland to New York City, now a lightly populated storm-surge outpost built from the ruins of the former metropolis. But they arenât the only ones looking for Kristina.
Thirty years earlier, Larch first came to New York with a team of volunteers to save the city from rising waters and torrential storms. Kristina was on the frontlines of a different battle, fighting massive wildfires that ravaged the western United States. They became part of a movement that changed the worldÂâThe Great Transitionâforging a new society and finding each other in process.
Alternating between Emiâs desperate search for her mother and a meticulously rendered, heart-stopping account of her parentsâ experiences during The Great Transition, this novel beautifully shows how our actions today determine our fate tomorrow. A triumphant debut, The Great Transition is âa book for the present and the futureâread this and you will be changedâ (Michelle Min Sterling, New York Times bestselling author).
