Shelf Awareness calls Afterland “an epic odyssey”

I’m so happy that Shelf Awareness liked Afterland and wrote up such a thorough review.

Here’s an excerpt, from Terry Hong:

With remarkable prescience, Lauren Beukes’s Afterland takes on an “unprecedented global pandemic” with chilling results–and surprising comic relief threaded throughout. Six years after the success of Broken Monsters, the internationally bestselling South African author sets another disturbing novel Stateside, creating an epic odyssey of a mother’s determination to save her tween son.

Thanks to reader @mjudsonbooks for the gorg photo of the American edition of Afterland!
