Book Description:
In the year 2040, Hurricane Diana
descends on New York City. Holly Williams, an architect and immigrant from
England flees to her home country, staying with her ailing stepdad in Boston,
England. Her mother, who has Alzheimer’s, is living in a nursing home nearby.
Holly's purpose in life, it
seems, has been to design factories and offices for robotics companies while
overseeing the demolition of historic New York buildings.
While seeking refuge from the
hurricane that has destroyed New York City to the point that is barely recognizable,
Holly begins to have strange hallucinations in which a mysterious stranger
guides her through some of the city’s forgotten and dramatic past.
What others are saying about Holly’s
Hurricane
"Holly’s Hurricane, smartly
set in the near future after a category 4 hurricane hits New York, will appeal
to futurists and history buffs. An absorbing romantic novel that will make you
think in new ways about the past, present and future of our most vulnerable
cities as humankind battles climate change."—Laurie Gwen Shapiro, author of The Stowaway
"Here is New York City as we
have never seen it, devastated by Hurricane Diana in 2040. Here too is our long
overdue romantic heroine, Holly Williams, a sixty-year-old architect and
immigrant struggling with ailing parents, unruly robotic aides, and an
unexpected love interest twelve years her junior. Guided by a Virgil-like
figure, Holly begins to realize at last her professional and personal potential
as she embarks on a mission to preserve what's left of her adopted city.
Prepare to be swept away by the sheer force of Holly's Hurricane—a fantastical
ode to New York City's glorious and horrifying past, as well as a warning to us
all for its future."—Molly Gaudry,
author of We Take Me Apart
"Be prepared to travel
through dimensions in time and space in Holly’s Hurricane. This is the kind of
novel that haunts you, and you’ll find yourself thinking about it for days to
come. You’ll become Holly, a brilliant architect, walking through the ruins of
New York City in 2040 after a hurricane has devastated the city. Gorgeously written and incredibly wise, it’s
a page-turner that will leave you on the edge of your seat, wondering if you’ve
just looked through the window of our very vulnerable future. But as Marie
Carter asks, 'How could something so pretty and intricate emerge from some
devastation?' Carter shows us that all is not lost, as she carves the beauty
out of the destruction."—Liz Scheid,
author of The Shape of Blue
