Hopeland | Ian McDonald

1 post | 1 read | 1 to read

Hopeland is not a nation. It is not a cult. It is not a religion.Hopeland is a community. It is a culture. It is a family.When Raisa Hopeland, determined to win her race to become the next electromancer of London, bumps into Amon Brightbourne - tweed-suited, otherworldly, guided by the Grace - in the middle of a London riot, she sets in motion a series of events which will span decades, continents and which will change the world.Amon falls in love in that moment of chaos, but being loved by him can have a cost. And while Raisa has Hopeland, Amon has a family of his own, and they have their own secrets.From rioting London to geothermal Iceland to the climate-struck islands of Polynesia, from birth to life to death, from tranquillity to terror to joy, Raisa's journey will encompass the world. But one thing will always be true.Hopeland is family.

Hopeland | Ian McDonald

This wasn't quite what I expected; for one thing, it was as much fantasy as SF. The Hopeland family has its own religion, including the practice of electromancy using Tesla coils. Meanwhile Amon Brightbourne bears the legacy of the Grace, a serendipitous force in his life that sets a momentous chain of events in motion, connecting England, Ireland, Iceland, Greenland & the island kingdom Avu'a, in a decades long adaptation to a changing climate.
