What if, to protect the environment, we cut ourselves off from the environment entirely? And what if one woman sets out to find an alternative? In a mechanised society 'free' from nature, Miranda, recently bereaved, struggling with loss of the natural world as well as loss of her partner, Elizabeth, and increasingly suspicious of the rhetoric of perpetual wandering, begins to piece together how society came to move so far and how there might, after all, be anotherThis compelling debut novel combines the fast pacing of an intelligent exploratory novel with a character driven narrative; inventive and highly accessible, On A Wandering Planet asks important questions and dares to imagine. -- Publisher: Cinnamon Press
