Inhaltsangabe
The time is now or an alternate near now, the world close to our own. A Category Five hurricane sweeps up the eastern seaboard of North America, leaving devastation in its wake. During this wild night, a stranger washes up on the doorstep of the isolated house where Milan Wells lives with his daughter, Miranda.
Seemingly safe in her father’s realm, Miranda walks the island’s rocky shores, helping her father with his daily weather records. But the stranger’s arrival breaks open Miranda’s world, stirs up memories of events of long ago and compels her to wonder what her father is up to with his mysterious weather experiments.
In the aftermath of the storm, she finds herself in a world altered so quickly that she hardly knows what has happened or what the unpredictable future will bring.
Kritikerstimmen
“Bush’s deeply resonant ecological retelling of The Tempest showcases a ‘brave new world’ as ironic as Shakespeare’s: brave because it is startling, dangerous and inescapable for those left alive; new because it really isn’t, merely the whirlwind humanity has sowed for its children to reap.” — Brian Bethune, Maclean’s
“Blaze Island is a fascinating and prescient story. With climate change as the backdrop, Catherine Bush’s lyrical portrait of the northern island landscape and a young woman’s passion for the land offers a frightening warning of how big business will surely adapt to the changes to benefit itself. Bush’s story is compelling—we watch the hurricane unfold, as only a brilliant writer can show us—and offers a moving and soulful primer for climate survival.” — Shani Mootoo, author of Moving Forward Sideways Like a Crab
“Climate change is both an external and internal phenomenon in Catherine Bush’s brilliant new novel, Blaze Island—an ever-moving storm of emotion and politics that unfolds under churning skies and life-or-death stakes. Bush brings together a complicated cast of three-dimensional men and women, all fighting with and against each other in the name of saving the planet … or making a buck.” — Michael Redhill, Giller Prize winning author of Bellevue Square
