"In her arresting debut novel, Edan Lepucki conjures a lush,
intricate, deeply disturbing vision of the future, then
masterfully exploits its dramatic possibilities." —-Jennifer
Egan, author of A Visit from the Goon Squad The world Cal and Frida have always known is gone, and
they've left the crumbling city of Los Angeles far behind
them. They now live in a shack in the wilderness, working
side-by-side to make their days tolerable in the face of
hardship and isolation. Mourning a past they can't reclaim,
they seek solace in each other. But the tentative existence
they've built for themselves is thrown into doubt when Frida
finds out she's pregnant. Terrified of the unknown and unsure of their ability to
raise a child alone, Cal and Frida set out for the nearest
settlement, a guarded and paranoid community with dark
secrets. These people can offer them security, but Cal and
Frida soon realize this community poses dangers of its own.
In this unfamiliar world, where everything and everyone can
be perceived as a threat, the couple must quickly decide
whom to trust. A gripping and provocative debut novel by a stunning new
talent, California imagines a frighteningly realistic near
future, in which clashes between mankind's dark nature and
deep-seated resilience force us to question how far we will
go to protect the ones we love.
