Contemptuous of their parents, the children decide to run away when a destructive storm descends on the summer estate, embarking on a dangerous foray into the apocalyptic chaos outside. Lydia Millet’s prophetic and heartbreaking story of generational divide offers a haunting vision of what awaits us on the far side of Revelation.

"Although the book is not long it's pretty heavy. There is definitely commentary on the generational divide and the younger generation's resentment of the older generations' handling of things (ie: climate change). "

"Who else read this just bc of the cover art👋🏼
Ended up LOVING this! The authors concept of God as nature, Jesus as science and the Holy Ghost as art really got me thinking.
Bit of a slow-start but once I was hooked I just couldn’t put it down. "

"It was good, but as I've never read the Bible I get many religious mentions. If you read this book, I'd recommend you read the Bible first. :)"
