A dark past. An impossible journey. The will to survive. For fans of Flight Behavior and Station Eleven, a novel set on the brink of catastrophe, as a young woman chases the world’s last birds―and her own final chance for redemption.

But we need hope, nonetheless, that life on this planet can adapt and can change. The following books aren’t light reads, but they are tinged with hope that the end of the world doesn’t have to mean the actual end.
