Produktbeschreibung
The acclaimed author of Unstable Earth creates a disturbing and emotional novel in which she reflects on freedom, vulnerability, sacrifice and, above all, the need to cling to life while there is something left to live for. A pandemic devastates an unsuspecting world. Neffy, a young biologist tortured by the mistakes that have ruined her career, decides to participate in paid vaccine trials. But, after a sudden mutation of the virus, she finds herself in an almost empty hospital, without Internet, telephone or television signal. The outside world is uncharted territory, and Neffy is trapped there inside it with a group of people she doesn't trust. With ruthless and overwhelming prose, Claire Fuller gives a twist to pandemic literature, and confronts her protagonist with an impossible decision: settle accounts with the ghosts of her past or look back at a future that appears chaotic. terrifying and unknown. A dazzling dystopia, with equal doses of speculative fiction and recent history.
