Naomi Booth - Bezárulva

The warming is becoming unbearable, bushfires are becoming more frequent and threaten larger and larger areas. Residents from endangered regions are resettled in camps, in inhumane conditions. On the other hand, a new, terrible disease is spreading among the population of the big city, as a result of which the patients are killed by their own skin. Alice, eight months pregnant, who as a social worker has had bitter experiences of the inadequacy of the authorities, is afraid of the disease and persuades her partner to move to the foot of the Blue Mountains near Sydney, to a small town behind the back of a god, to see if she can find safety and peace there, and get rid of from nightmares and start a new life with your family. Pregnancy sharpened her senses, but also her paranoia: Alice sees danger everywhere in everything, which threatens her life and that of her unborn child.
Naomi Booth's first novel combines very pressing, real problems of our everyday life with elements of speculative literature. The result is a captivatingly exciting, yet compellingly thought-provoking, innovative story, eco-science fiction wrapped in horror.
