"Evoking Ursula LeGuin's unflinching humane and moral authority, Nina Munteanu takes us into the lives of four generations of women and their battles against a global giant that controls and manipulates Earth's water...In language both gritty and hauntingly poetic, Munteanu delivers an uncompromising warning of our future."--Lynn Hutchinson Lee
Centuries from now, in a dying boreal forest in what used to be northern Canada, Kyo, a young acolyte called to service in the Exodus yearns for Earth’s past–the Age of Water, before the “Water Twins” destroyed humanity. Looking for answers and plagued by vivid dreams of this holocaust, Kyo discovers the diary of Lynna, a limnologist from a time just prior to the destruction. The diary spans a twenty-year period in the mid-twenty-first century and describes a planet in the grip of severe water scarcity. Lynna, in her work for the international utility that controls everything about water, witnesses and records the disturbing events that will soon lead to humanity’s demise. A Diary in the Age of Water follows the climate-induced journey of Earth and humanity through four generations of women, each with a unique relationship to water.
