This is the soft post-apocalyptic book I had been longing for since reading ‘The Singlight Pilgrims'. Rice has skillfully crafted the perfect atmospheric setting. The story takes place in a remote Anishinaabe community in northern Canada, where the sudden vanishing of communication and essential supplies from the outside world thrusts the community into an unsettling state of uncertainty. As they face the harsh realities of survival and navigate the challenges brought on by the rapidly changing circumstances, the characters come to life and I truly felt connected to them as a reader.
