4 stars
In a future world where water covers almost all of the land, a woman lives alone in the middle of the sea performing under water burials and a circus travels around from island to island performing gender bending subversive acts. This novel is written in a hauntingly beautiful way with a fantastical, yet also realistically imminent, dystopian setting. The story of how the earth ended up this way is only slowly revealed which helps move this story along. I liked how the mechanics of this future world are revealed through alternating perspectives but that did make it a bit harder to connect to the two central characters of Callanish and North. Overall, I enjoyed thoroughly enjoyed reading this exquisitely written book. I received this from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
