The sequel to Parable of the Sower, this book is a depressingly realistic but strangely hopeful portrayal of the US in the next few years, as we follow the main character’s journey after she leaves her isolated community to found a new religion. With notes interspersed by her future daughter and her husband, written 30 years down the line, you sense the whole way that it won’t end well but it’s so compellingly told that you need to know more. - Zoë
