Breakwater is a timely and lyrical novel exploring themes of climate change, motherhood, and resilience. As floodwaters surge in South Florida and millions evacuate, Carey Marilla, a middle school music teacher, learns she's pregnant. Though the waters are undeniably rising, Carey and her world-weary mother resist departure, alongside their aging yard man and a runaway student. Together, the unlikely family navigates the coming months of slow devastation and radical change while Carey grapples with the psychological trials of pregnancy. Meanwhile, blue herons, silver mullet, and sly alligators reclaim the drowned city streets. Rain, indifferent and dazzling as ever, dances blithely among the telephone poles.
Autorenporträt
Vivian Wilderbridge lives in a bright blue house surrounded by trees in Seattle, Washington. She frequently walks the rainy beach nearby and searches for broken things and living creatures. She's seen orcas from the shore a few times, but she more commonly visits with seals and sea lions. Viv grew up in South Florida where she loved to swim in wild water and climb high in sun-drenched trees. These days, she writes novels, poetry, and songs, often at her dining room table or at a desk heavily cluttered with sea glass and seashells. She adores science fiction, fantasy, seafood, and old-fashioned mail.
