Summary
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.
More from the same

The Boring Son
The premise to this book was very interesting, although in the end it was a bad version of the Terminator!!!

Unsuitable natation.
I could not finish as I could not get past the narration, which was difficult to follow freely.

The feeling of Water ship down
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

Excellent story and performance
A little slow to start but do persist. It gets better and better. Very thought provoking and at times deeply moving.

Loved this book!
I loved this book. I intended to make this book last over my week off work but ended up listening in just over two days! Great story, loved the characters and the narrator was brilliant. I was sorry when the story ended I wanted more! :)
