In a beautifully written, quiet and introspective novel set in a time when the climate has everyone on edge, the main character, Lizzie, is increasingly thinking about the end of the world. She is a librarian who juggles a couple of jobs. And she also tries to balance her personal life and balance her relationships with her husband and son, and with other members of her family. Her mother takes up a good deal of time, too, as does her brother who is struggling with addiction. As she seeks to save her family and herself, she is continually convinced that it is all going to end.
