The Year of the Flood (McClelland & Stewart) by Margaret Atwood
Margaret Atwood's post-apocalyptic tale wowed many readers, including Laura Rochon, who wrote:
"This should be read by all Canadians as a cautionary tale of what may happen if we continue to stretch environmental patience and if we continue to flirt with what is ethical with technology and science."
Accolades: A runaway bestseller, The Year of the Flood was shortlisted for the Scotiabank Giller Prize and the Trillium Book Award. It also garnered critical acclaim at home and abroad, including from Publishers Weekly, which praised it as "a gutsy and expansive novel, rich with ideas and conceits."
Another slogger! I don't quite know who these people are who think that this is one of the top 40 books of the last decade, no offense Margaret! Some of Margaret's books are my favourite!
