The U.S. is drought-ravaged, overpopulated, relentlessly urban, and intellectually stifled. In a world where animals are a rarity and water is strictly rationed by a totalitarian government, Nadia Stepan's only pleasure is dreaming of Lighthouse Island, a most-likely-mythical utopia in which people are free and water is abundant. But when a workplace disaster forces her to flee, she begins a search for the island, aided by a disfigured mapmaker. The dystopian setting is reflected in the author's prose; not everyone will appreciate this dark and detailed novel, but fans of dystopian fiction won't want to miss it.
