"The End We Start From is strange and powerful, and very apt for these uncertain times. I was moved, terrified, uplifted - sometimes all three at once. It takes skill to manage that, and Hunter has a poet's understanding of how to make each word count."--Tracy Chevalier Pre-empted by publishers around the world within days of the 2016 London Book Fair, The End We Start From marks the arrival of Megan Hunter, a dazzling and unique literary talent. Hunter's debut is a searing original, a modern-day parable of rebirth and renewal, of maternal bonds, and the instinct to survive and thrive in the absence of all that's familiar. As London is submerged below flood waters, a woman gives birth to her first child, Z. Days later, she and her baby are forced to leave their home in search of safety. They head north through a newly dangerous country seeking refuge from place to place. The story traces fear and wonder, as the baby grows, thriving and content against all the odds. Written with poise and poeticism, The End We Start From is an indelible and elemental debut--a lyrical vision of the strangeness and beauty of new motherhood, and a tale of endurance in the face of ungovernable change.

A slim and poetic novel which I read in two sittings.
Her lyrical prose is of such contrast to the climate emergency. Cleverly written.

The prose whispers itself into poetry. A sail boat becomes a “ diversion of cloth, wind and wood”. The sunset & the flood waters that have obliterated all become “The shimmering green- gray-blue terror. Orange in the evening then gone.” Every sail boat & every waterview sunset are just those things. That‘s all the new mother can absorb so that‘s all the text there is. After the flood, everything is subtextual, subliminal, submerged. Ambitious!

As the lake water starts its yearly August drop, I‘m picking up this short cli-fi catastrophe novel.

In this novella, a woman and her baby are searching for refuge as London is submerged by the rising waters.
In parallel to the dire situation being described, we're witnessing the baby growing up.
This novella offers an interesting take on apocalyptic fiction, with sections in italics inspired by mythological & religious texts. It's a short read, a mix of prose, with a poetic layout whose content reads like diary entries.
Overall, a nice discovery

The U.K. is flooding and a small family must flee to safer ground.

It was refreshing to have a during/post disaster novel that didn‘t fall immediately into humanity is terrible and awful. There‘s a level of community and of hope here, that I want to see more of in this kind of book.

However, given the style of writing, the depersonalization of the characters through initials only, and the shortness of the story, this felt flat to me. 🌕🌕🌗🌑🌑

BookmarkTavern @Sg1224 I‘m still not entirely sure. It felt a little jarring, that she was able to find R and that they were able to return to her apartment. But, I may have assumed that the devastation was worse than what the book showed. So perhaps it‘s not that unexpected. I did love the hopefulness of Z‘s first steps, though. I‘m torn. I think I would have liked this a lot more if I had listened to it. 4y
Sg1224 @ozma.of.oz I was also taken back by her finding R. And also I assumed there would be so much mold everything would need to be knocked down and rebuilt. I guess k@ projecting a bit because I have allergies and would‘ve probably had died if I had to go back and live in a place such as theirs...haha. 4y
BookmarkTavern @Sg1224 Yeah, I definitely wasn‘t expecting her finding R. I don‘t know, it‘s not like she didn‘t experience loss with other people. And it‘s not totally impossible that she would find him. Yeah, I‘m torn. 4y

Sadly, the best thing about this book is its cover.

With stilted language and awkward descriptions (one passage describes the staticky sounds from a radio as sounding “post-coital” 😐), this book didn‘t deliver on its initial promise.

A post-apocalyptic story in a time of pandemic? Yes, but sadly, not an effective or satisfying one.

Riveted_Reader_Melissa You‘re right, great cover...sorry it didn‘t live up to it. 4y

Enjoyed this poetic dystopian story-stitched together by the stories we‘ve heard of earths creation, or recreation. I especially enjoyed the character naming conventions & the struggles of being a first time mother with a newborn in an emerging and unstable world.

Floods are threatening London, forcing a young mother and her baby to make their way in this new dystopian world.

Sparsely told with beautiful prose. It is a short read that feels somewhat detached but I couldn‘t put it down until I finished.

I‘m undecided about this book. It‘s short, almost a novella, about a new mother coping in the aftermath of an environmental disaster that floods London (and presumably much of the south of the UK, not that that warrants a mention). Potentially a good story, but it‘s delivery, in disjointed sentences, and the use of initials rather than names - the mother is unnamed, the father is R, the child Z, and so on render it soulless. I just didn‘t care.

I read this for #Booked2019 - Clifi

Quick read, only 120 pages and it is not written like your typical book. No one has a name. The unnamed narrator has a baby while London is starting to get flooded and come under water. The story is about her journey and her child growing up. A lot is purposely vague and you don‘t really know what happened. She meets different people who help her get through this while all the resources dry up.

alisiakae The Clifi genre seems to have growing pains, most of the reviews I have seen for the prompt are only so-so. 5y
Laughterhp @4thhouseontheleft Well that‘s good to know. I don‘t think I‘ve really read a clifi book before this. I had to look at lists online to find one. 5y

I must have jinxed myself with my last post. 😂 Oh, well. This wasn‘t bad or anything, it was just okay. I like the style it was written in and the juxtaposition of new motherhood and catastrophe. Unfortunately, I just felt like the story held me too much at a distance which kept me from really feeling for the characters.

A short but powerful dystopian story that really makes you think. The UK is underwater due to rapidly rising sea levels & this book explores the story of one woman coping with motherhood, love, loss & chaos all at the same time. Don't go in expecting full descriptive paragraphs and lengthy dialogue because that's not what you'll find. I really liked this one so it's 5 stars from me.

My full review is up on my blog now 📚

This was short, intense, lyrical and beautiful. But it just didn‘t touch me 🤷‍♀️

On the night the world is flooded, a child is born and a mother is formed. As the MC‘s focus is on her newborn, so is the reader‘s focus moved from the dystopian disaster to the bonding between mother and child, which was the best part of the book. If it had just made me feel SOMETHING this would have been a pick.

I forgot to post yesterday. #TheDayAfterTomorrow reminded me of this apocalyptic book by Megan Hunter. It's a very slim book, the writing is poetically weird and the story stayed with me for a very long time.

Today's prompt reminded me of a book on my #TBR. #BonjourMadame

I started this #audiobook during my #audiowalk today for the #25infive #readathon! (Currently at 3/25 hours between 3 books.) It‘s very lyrical and quiet and unemotional, for an end-of-the-world type of book. I like it so far! Just as the new mother focuses on her baby rather than the world ending, so does the reader.

Side note- North Carolina is so green! It‘s jarring but nice!

The writing here is sparse and lyrical, and the plot is intriguing. But there is not much connection to the characters, and I found the quirks of only calling them by letters rather than names frustrating. It is so short that it is hard to really develop a relationship with the work, but the writing is poetic.

Thanks to some serious jet lag {literally} I‘ve finished my first read for #backpackEurope 🇬🇧This novella didn‘t work for me. A woman gives birth to her first child, Z in the midst of an apocalyptic flood that submerges most of London forcing residents to flee the city and seek shelter elsewhere. Mother, child, son escape to higher ground as sleepless nights, changing bodies, frayed nerves & dire circumstances become their new landscape. 👇🏼

Cinfhen Without any dialogue, story structure, or naming of characters ( people are assigned an initial) we track the narrator‘s early days of motherhood as she learns what it means to be a parent in an unsafe and unknown world. This should have been brilliant but it was bleh, meh and sparse. Very unsatisfactory ( although, I will admit I‘m majorly cranky!!!) 6y
