About this listen

Five hundred years in the future, earth is no longer populated by humans.

The new guardians of Earth, the genetically engineered Erta, have reversed climate change. They are now faced with a dilemma; if they reintroduce the rebellious and violent Homo sapiens, all of their work will be undone.

They decide to raise one final child, a sole human to help decide if humanity should again inherit the Earth.

But the quiet and clinical Ima finds that there is more to raising a human than she had expected and that there is more to humanity's history than she has been told.

It took me a bit of time to get into this book, but worthwhile in the end. The story, while fictional deals with real subject matters. In particular the love of a child and a single mothers perspective taken from an unusual detatched point of view. it also askes the question are humans all that bad? oh well ill leave that for you to decide 🙂

An interesting perspective.

Great book but not sure if I should cry or smile or be angry with it.. I suppose it’s a sign of a good book!

Slow starting but it needs to be slow for the finality of it it is a story that once you start you need to follow to its end to understand or infer the meaning

Well narrated the Scottish accent giving it the musical femininity the story needs

A good original story well done

The feeling of Water ship down
