"From the water we came and to the water we will return, our lungs always hungering for air, but our hearts beating like waves."

After the Flood by Kassandra Montag is a powerful debut novel set in the future after a devastating flood covers the entire world, except the highest mountain peaks, in water. I don't usually read dystopian/scifi novels, but this is so much more. The author combines believable characters, exciting action, and beautiful writing to create a truly memorable and unique reading experience.

Main characters Myra and her young daughter Pearl struggle to survive in this post-flood world after experiencing many losses in their lives. Readers accompany them on a long and dangerous journey - what awaits them at their destination? Read this novel to find out.

Thank you to William Morrow Publishing for the free copy of this lovely book in exchange for an honest review.
