Francesca, a world renowned climate activist, has secretly secured a safehaven for her young son, Pauly. Told from the POV of three young survivors left to eke out a life in relative safety, this elegiac story zooms in on a small, self-contained world that is still devastated by rising sea levels and erratic weather. Beautiful, tragic, and frankly not great for my mental health. As Francesca says, sometimes anxiety is a reasonable reaction.
