Review
"I loved The Flood. It's a funny, convincing amplification of the Biblical story." Tracy Chevalier, author of Girl with a Pearl Earring; "The Flood is funny, tender, intelligent, energetic, irreverent and worshipful. It is an enormous juggling act of families, animals and faith, and it kept me engaged through every page. I imagine Noah would be enormously pleased with David Maine's novel. I know I was." Ann Patchatt, author of Orange Prize winner Bel Canto; "Brilliant... A story of faith and survival (think Life of Pi thousands of years earlier and with a much larger cast of characters) this debut is a winner." Publishers Weekly; "The Flood is a fabulous book reminiscent of Jim Crace's Quarantine... Refreshingly original, very funny and a perfect blend of Biblical history and wondrous imagination. This is one you will want to shove into the hands of everyone you know." Stephen Torsi, The Bookseller; "A funny, cheeky, irreverent, wonderfully original first novel, informed both by Biblical history and David Maine's joyous imagination." Jim Fergus, author of One Thousand White Women; "An elegant and inventive book." Janet Maslin, New York Times; "Part domestic drama, part supernatural thriller... as realistic and suspenseful - really! - as any modern tale." Time Out New York"

For when Noe orders his sons to build an ark, he can't tell them where the wood will come from, just that God will provide.
