It is not a subtle book [...] Then again, this is a work not of balance or diplomacy but of love and rage. The powerfully rendered flood that drowns Thrushcross is both a dramatic plot tool and a reminder of a real disaster that shattered communities. To see the streets that we've watched Mitch and Cath walk down drowned in brown, surging water, as rubbish flaps past shattered windows, is to feel deep sorrow.
"Set against the backdrop of disastrous flooding in the North of England, Rain dramatically chronicles the developing relationship between two young women, one of whom is a committed environmental campaigner. Their wild Bronte moorland is being criminally mismanaged. Birds and animals are being slaughtered. Across the country, crops are being systematically poisoned, even the soil itself. Rain centres on one relatively small example of moorland ownership by an elite group that impacts catastrophically on the unlanded majority living in the valley below. But the campaigners know that 'a million other valleys need saving.' They need saving not just for the sake of their human inhabitants, but for the insects and plants, birds and mammals and all the other inhabitants large and small that we share this planet with - our non-human fellow earthlings."--Provided by publisher Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
