Summer Solstice 2065. 16 years after a devastating pandemic and societal collapse. Viola sets off into the forest to prepare for the gathering of her community, who bring their ghosts and fears, hopes and secrets, knowing that a single day can change everything. And theirs are not the only voices. The forest also has stories of grief and resurrection, trauma and forgiveness. Linguistically-inventive and deeply moving, this richly layered narrative asks what we mean by consciousness or a life well-lived, human or non-human. Beyond the end of the world, where is life to be found?
