I was moved, terrified, uplifted--sometimes all three at once. It takes skill to manage that, and Hunter has a poets understanding of how to make each word count.--Tracy Chevalier, author of Girl With a Pearl Earring n nPreempted by publishers around the world within days of the 2016 London Book Fair, The End We Start From heralds the arrival of Megan Hunter, a dazzling and unique literary talent. Hunters debut is a searing original, a modern-day parable of rebirth and renewal, of maternal bonds, and the instinct to survive and thrive in the absence of all thats familiar. n nAs London is submerged below floodwaters, a woman gives birth to her first child, Z. Days later, she and her baby are forced to leave their home in search of safety. They head north through a newly dangerous country seeking refuge from place to place.
