Would you fight to save the world your parents have destroyed?

Winner 2012 Arthur C. Clarke Award

* You'll be blown away by this. Independent * By far the most moving of all the 138 [Booker] entries. -- Chris Mullin Evening Standard * A dark, powerful and disturbing story asking difficult questions about science, sex, and survival. Michele Roberts * Like The Handmaid's Tale colliding with Children Of Men. Herald * Jane Rogers has captured Jessie's voice brilliantly, alternating a teenager's solipsism with a growing awareness of the wider world ... The reader is torn between her clear, unequivocal conclusions and the intricate, heartfelt compromises of her parents. TLS * The scary thing about this novel is that the questions it raises are so close to home ... The novel does not set up an elaborate apocalypse, but astringently strips away the smears hiding the apocalypses we really face. Like Jessie's, it is a small, calm voice of reason in a nonsensical world. Independent * Marvellous. Daily Mail
