Topical and terrifying - a dramatic tale of what climate change will inevitably do to our country as we know it. Ten years after the covid trauma, a fresh disaster strikes as weather patterns become more erratic, from extreme heat to long periods of monsoon-like rainfall. Large parts of the earth are regularly inundated and in Britain a flood of apocalyptic proportions brings little respite and the only refuge is high ground. With the country effectively under martial law the rural idyll of architect Adam Woolton's hilltop home is overwhelmed by unwanted guests fleeing the floods. 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, landing him in unexpected and deadly danger, as he finds himself drawn into a mystery involving the child and her absent mother. Meanwhile the rain is still falling.

Autorenporträt
Frances Brand lives in Shropshire among the glorious countryside of the Marches where ravens can fly quickly over the border into Wales.Frances is a former journalist who changed career when the internet was hitting regional papers; she began a new writing career and opened the doors of her hilltop home to paying guests. Love of the landscape and the natural world in all its beauty and harshness forms the backdrop to her work, providing both inspiration and characters. Latterly she was editor of a farming newspaper, working closely with farmers and others involved in agriculture. She knows at first hand the problems and vicissitudes of farming in the 21st-century in a claustrophobic rural society, as depicted in her first novel Thorns. The elevated location of her small farm was also key to the theme of a second novel, Adam's Ark, which imagined the impact on the landscape and community of extreme flooding caused by global warming.
