When ninety-five percent of the world's population disappears for no apparent reason, Mira does what she can to create some semblance of a life: she cobbles together a haphazard community named Zion. Four years after the Rending, Mira has everything under control - almost. Soon women of Zion are giving birth to an inanimate object - and the thin veil of normalcy Mira has thrown over her new world begins to fray. Mira has to decide how much she's willing to let go in order to save her community and her own fraught pregnancy.

So let's set aside, for a minute, the fact that this novel is one of the most innovative and unexpected dystopian novels I've read in a genre completely saturated with offerings.
The Rending and the Nest is this tender and beautiful exploration of story - of the ways in which our stories shape us; the ways we choose to tell our own stories; and how we then start to believe in the stories we choose to tell. The author gives weight and depth to her words, and this is a novel I will definitely want to read over again.
Also, this is a BANANAS dytopian novel that will blow your mind.
