The Stranding

Kate Sawyer HACHETTE

When things go pearshaped, Ruth decides to leave London to travel to the other side of the world and see whales – an animal she has been enthralled with since childhood. Having chosen to ignore the dire news reports, when she arrives in New Zealand she is unaware of the catastrophe that has taken place back home. But when the end of the world comes knocking, Ruth and a Kiwi guy she befriends hide inside the cavernous mouth of a stranded whale. When they emerge, a little worse for wear, the world is changed beyond recognition.
