Synopsis
MaddAddam #2
The Year of the Flood is a novel by Canadian author Margaret Atwood, the second book of her dystopian trilogy, released on September 22, 2009, in Canada and the United States, and on September 7, 2009, in the United Kingdom.
From the bestselling author of The Handmaid's Tale and The Testaments - the second book of the internationally celebrated MaddAddam trilogy, set in the visionary world of Oryx and Crake, is at once a moving tale of lasting friendship and a landmark work of speculative fiction.
The sun brightens in the east, reddening the blue-grey haze that marks the distant ocean. The vultures roosting on the hydro poles fan out their wings to dry them. the air smells faintly of burning. The waterless flood - a man-made plague - has ended the world.
But two young women have survived: Ren, a young dancer trapped where she worked, in an upmarket sex club (the cleanest dirty girls in town); and Toby, who watches and waits from her rooftop garden. Is anyone else out there?

External Reviews
' . . . the first book in this series, Oryx and Crake, this is a fantastic series. Atwood creates a detailed, believable and horrifying future world, of genetic experimentation out of control, morals utterly eroded, and corporations controlling things utterly. None of the technological or political changes are so far-fetched as to be unbelievable. This is dystopia with its routes firmly in the present day rather than an entirely imaginary future." - Amazon Review.
"Alarmingly realistic, highly compelling, it makes you think over our not so far future for the human race and the planet. It is somehow disturbing , as everything seems so real and plausible, it could really happen ,or, better, it can really happen, though I hope not, of course. One should definitely read the whole trilogy." - Google Review.
"Prescient and inventive." - Tracy-Ann Oberman.
