The Water That May Come

'Warmhearted yet dark. Amy Lilwall creates a world that is instantly relatable, populated by eccentric but engaging characters pushed to their limits by an extreme existential threat. It held me rapt from start to finish.' - Alison Layland, Author of 'Riverflow'

' However, Lilwall’s focus is not so much about the science and politics of avoiding/ameliorating/evading this catastrophe. Indeed, there seems to be a refreshing acceptance of the danger and the scientific consensus, with very few naysayers and conspiracy theorizing denialists salting the pages. Which all allows Lilwall to zoom in very closely on the stories of individual people who may have a chance of survival and how they access it. This needle-sharp focus on one aspect of the climate crisis – that of climate refugees – allows Lilwall to examine a crisis that affects even ‘people like us’ and how the advantages of privilege and wealth are exacerbated by crisis rather than ameliorated. As the saying goes, we may all be facing the same storm, but some of us are doing in so yachts, others in rubber dinghies and some fighting for a pair of waterwings.' - T.O. Munro, Fantasy Hive
