ABOUT
THE BOOK
|
|
When
ReJana first sets eyes on the giant hull of the boat rising up from the
dry centre of the desert, she doesn't understand what she is seeing. The
rising waters have chased her and her family from their old home in the
marshes to this barren desert, now transformed into a tented city bustling
with industry. But the rumour of the impending flood seems too remote
to be believable in this land where water is so scarce. |
