*Product information may vary - to confirm product availability, pricing, shipping and return information please contact Coles
From the bestselling, critically acclaimed author of The Paris Express and Room , a brilliant novel about one unexpected heroine’s coming-of-age in a post-apocalyptic New York
2040. In a city struggling to stand in the aftermath of societal and environmental collapse, a young pigeon named Blaze lives in an abandoned tower with her flock. They are a close-knit family who rely on each other to survive a brutal world where death is always around the corner. They forage together and raise young with their mates, all while steering clear of the Talls—the remaining starving humans.
Blaze’s flock makes it through various disasters by holding to rules such as “No pigeon lives long alone.” On one of their foraging trips, Blaze saves the life of an older lone pigeon and welcomes him into her family. Her new flock member brings with him a forgotten history of the-time-before that upends everything Blaze knows about pigeons, Talls and the meaning of home.
As Blaze comes of age, she must learn to navigate the thrills and terrors of unexpected adventures, evolving flock politics, tragic and exciting romances, and the uncertainties of motherhood. Ultimately, she must choose between adhering to the beliefs of her kind or forging a new path.
Sweeping, captivating and gorgeously rendered, Blaze is a heartfelt testament to the joy of finding one’s flock and the endless possibilities when we choose bravery over fear.
