 Speculative fiction will never save the world, but its ability to posit future scenarios has given it an unprecedented urgency.

HTML: In the aftermath of a devastating plague, a fearless young heroine embarks on a dangerous and surprising journey to save her world in this brilliantly inventive thriller. In the ruins of a future America, fifteen-year-old Ice Cream Star and her nomadic tribe live off the detritus of a crumbled civilization. Theirs is a world of children; before reaching the age of twenty, they all die of a strange disease they call Posies—a plague that has killed for generations. There is no medicine, no treatment; only the mysterious rumor of a cure. When her brother begins showing signs of the disease, Ice Cream Star sets off on a bold journey to find this cure. Led by a stranger, a captured prisoner named Pasha who becomes her devoted protector and friend, Ice Cream Star plunges into the unknown, risking her freedom and ultimately her life. Traveling hundreds of miles across treacherous, unfamiliar territory, she will experience love, heartbreak, cruelty, terror, and betrayal, fighting to protect the only world she has ever known. A postapocalyptic literary epic as imaginative as The Passage and as linguistically ambitious as Cloud Atlas, The Country of Ice Cream Star is a breathtaking work from a writer of rare and unconventional talent. .Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |

I was going to give this book five stars, but it fell into the usual self-indulgent trap of being far too long, too convoluted, with too many named characters. Also the end was unsatisfying. Perhaps there will be a sequel.
However.
I. Loved. The. Writing. It would seem the patois of the post apocalypse makes for very polarizing reading. Some people just can't get past it. They are trying too hard. Just read. I highlighted so many passages that were just like poetry, in a dystopian fashion.
"Her face be tired like regrets."
"We sit in this porcupine silence."
"This be a long and skinbone child, look like he made of elbows."
Poetry.
