Science Fiction Suspense/Thriller
An amazing, award-winning speculative fiction debut novel
by
a major new talent, in the vein of Ursula K. Le Guin. Global warming has changed the world’s geography and its
politics. Wars are waged over water, and China rules
Europe,
including the Scandinavian Union, which is occupied by the
power state of New Qian. In this far north place,
seventeen-year-old Noria Kaitio is learning to become a
tea
master like her father, a position that holds great
responsibility and great secrets. Tea masters alone know
the
location of hidden water sources, including the natural
spring that Noria’s father tends, which once provided
water
for her whole village. But secrets do not stay hidden forever, and after her
father’s death the army starts watching their town—and
Noria. And as water becomes even scarcer, Noria must
choose
between safety and striking out, between knowledge and
kinship. Imaginative and engaging, lyrical and poignant, Memory of
Water is an indelible novel that portrays a future that is
all too possible.
