Review:
"This is a gutsy and expansive novel, rich with ideas and conceits...." (starred review)
Marcel Theroux, Publishers Weekly, 07/20/2009
Review:"Atwood's villains are despicable, while her heroes are thorny, resilient, and contemplative, and their adventures are hair-raising....Atwood's mischievous, suspenseful, and sagacious dystopian novel follows the trajectory of current environmental debacles to a shattering possible conclusion with passionate concern and arch humor." (starred review)

Now it has occurred, obliterating most human life.

They can't stay locked away . . .By turns dark, tender, violent, thoughtful, and uneasily hilarious, The Year of the Flood is Atwood at her most brilliant and inventive.From the Hardcover edition.
