Produktbeschreibung

A decade after the virus a new a disaster strikes the world.

As climate change tightens its grip

large parts of the planet are inundated and anywhere on high ground becomes a refuge from the rising water.

With the country effectively under martial law architect Adam Woolton's precious home is besieged by desperate people deposited in open country from the air to fend for themselves.

His chance rescue of a young child left alone in a drowning village and his crazy joke about building an ark bring him to the attention of the army. He finds himself out of his depth in a mystery involving the child and her mother.

Meanwhile the water is still rising.

Autorenporträt

Frances Brand lives in Shropshire, in the west of England among the glorious countryside of the Marches where a crow or raven can fly quickly over the border into Wales. She gave up a career in journalism to open her hilltop home as a bed and breakfast and gain more freedom and time to write.

Her last job was editing a farming newspaper, working closely with farmers and others involved in agriculture which revealed the problems and vicissitudes of 21st-century farming.

She lives a comparatively old-fashioned way of life, in touch with the natural world which so many people have left behind. Her passion for nature, the landscape and the power of the elements is often reflected in her writing.

She says people don't expect a guest house owner to be a writer or the other way round but it often gives a fascinating insight into human behaviour and can touch off many trains of thought. There are some guests who spark immediate empathy while others sometimes just don't get the place at all.

Her life is also kept busy with dogs and horses to care for.
