Currently reading for
review:
In a world torn apart by economic collapse, Natalie and her
husband Richard have established an island of relative safety on a communal
farm. But farm politics and the constant grind of survival expose the rifts in
Natalie and Richard’s marriage. In a lawless land with no shortage of
suffering, who determines what is right and just…when the stakes are survival?
Worn down by Richard’s burning ambitions, chronic
insensitivity, and kill-or-be-killed attitude, Natalie seeks refuge in the
company of Richard’s twin, Daniel, a solitary man with little interest in
politics. Daniel can’t offer Natalie the same privilege and stature in the farm
community as his brother, and leaving Richard could upset the delicate social
balance on the farm—but Daniel may just give Natalie a chance at love.
Richard, intent on staging a triumphant return to provincial
politics with his wife and children at his side, refuses to give up Natalie so
easily; and Daniel, used to subsuming his own interests to those of his twin,
must decide if he is willing to fight for the woman he wants.
When people dying from a potentially new and virulent form
of influenza arrive seeking help, Natalie, Richard, and Daniel must each map
the boundaries of their own loyalties and morality. In the Shadows of the
Mosquito Constellation is a story of adventure, politics, and love in a brave
new world where the rules have both changed, and stayed the same.
