Why read it?
1 author picked Fire Over Troubled Water as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Set in a world where there’s water everywhere from the rising sea levels, but fresh water is a much-needed commodity, I loved that this story was about family. There’s a lovely mix of characters who are still kind – still human – and those that are out for survival and control, which kept me wanting to read to see if the main character, Baz, would find his family again. And I loved that there were places I recognised – it’s always nice to have those ‘I’ve been there!’ moments.
From Sue-Ellen's list on dystopian books with watery issues.
