A superb depiction of an alternative dystopian story for Detroit, with urban decay and ecological disasters. In particular, feral children leave their homes to live wild in a park. Gloria arrives after the death of her daughter (an unsolved murder) to search for her two missing grand-daughters. What follows is a brilliant portrayal of family resilience. This book should be a powerful contender in the upcoming Canada Reads competition, championed by the brilliant Heather O’Neill.
