Synopsis: As rising seas threaten to engulf Britain, four lives are on the brink:
Pinko, a privileged heir clinging to decadence; Jane, a working-class veterinary nurse racing to reunite her family; her pregnant teenage daughter Ashleigh, grappling with impending motherhood; and humble young artist Gavin.
With sanctuary beckoning across the Channel, each faces impossible choices. Who will they save? What will they sacrifice?
A lyrical, thought-provoking novel that blurs borders and challenges notions of identity and belonging.
In a future where we all may become refugees, it asks: How far would you go to stay afloat?
Miniature Review
The Water That May Come delivers a powerful message, as Amy explores themes of climate change, social injustice, and the privilege of wealth. Set in a near-future Britain threatened by rising seas, this climate fiction novel is thought-provoking.
Despite the weight of its subject matter, the story remains gripping, relatable, and at times darkly entertaining. Amy weaves together the lives of four characters, their struggles illuminating the human cost of inequality and survival in a world on the brink.
Bold, lyrical, and deeply human, The Water That May Come is a must-read for fans of dystopian literature, literary dystopias, and environmental fiction that challenges us to imagine the future we may face.
