Über diesen Titel

Philip K. Dick Award Winner for Distinguished Science Fiction

When she fell asleep, the world was doomed. When she awoke, it was dead.

In the wake of a fever that decimated the earth's population - killing women and children and making childbirth deadly for the mother and infant - the midwife must pick her way through the bones of the world she once knew to find her place in this dangerous new one. Gone are the pillars of civilization. All that remains is power - and the strong who possess it.

A few women like her survived, though they are scarce. Even fewer are safe from the clans of men, who, driven by fear, seek to control those remaining. To preserve her freedom, she dons men's clothing, goes by false names, and avoids as many people as possible. But as the world continues to grapple with its terrible circumstances, she'll discover a role greater than chasing a pale imitation of independence.

After all, if humanity is to be reborn, someone must be its guide.

I came across this via Tiktok in the course of the discussion of women in a post apocalyptic world - this book was absolutely thrilling and riveting and I listened through it within two days. No cliches. The story felt new. Can’t believe it’s from 2016 and some of the early stages of the fever outbreak rang so true in a 2023 world post Covid. Absolutely recommend!!
