The Year of the Flood
by Margaret Atwood
read: 2014
MaddAddam Series, Book Two
I enjoyed The Year of the Flood less than the other Atwood books I've read. I'm having a hard time understanding whether Atwood (or her narrative voice) is poking fun at the Gardeners or exalting their style of life. Probably her real stance (and the rational one) is somewhere in the middle, or both. Toby and Ren both claim to have doubts about Adam One's teachings, but they find strength and solace in them in times of need.
Random note: Ren's chapters are in first person while Toby's are in third person. I don't have a theory about why that is.
