About this product
Product Information
A New York Times Notable Book of 2017 Louise Erdrich, the New York Times bestselling, National Book Award-winning author of LaRose and The Round House , paints a startling portrait of a young woman fighting for her life and her unborn child against oppressive forces that manifest in the wake of a cataclysmic event. The world as we know it is ending. Evolution has reversed itself, affecting every living creature on earth. Science cannot stop the world from running backwards, as woman after woman gives birth to infants that appear to be primitive species of humans. Twenty-six-year-old Cedar Hawk Songmaker, adopted daughter of a pair of big-hearted, open-minded Minneapolis liberals, is as disturbed and uncertain as the rest of America around her. But for Cedar, this change is profound and deeply personal. She is four months pregnant. Though she wants to tell the adoptive parents who raised her from infancy, Cedar first feels compelled to find her birth mother, Mary Potts, an Ojibwe living on the reservation, to understand both her and her baby's origins. As Cedar goes back to her own biological beginnings, society around her begins to disintegrate, fueled by a swelling panic about the end of humanity. There are rumors of martial law, of Congress confining pregnant women. Of a registry, and rewards for those who turn these wanted women in. Flickering through the chaos are signs of increasing repression: a shaken Cedar witnesses a family wrenched apart when police violently drag a mother from her husband and child in a parking lot. The streets of her neighborhood have been renamed with Bible verses. A stranger answers the phone when she calls her adoptive parents, who have vanished without a trace. It will take all Cedar has to avoid the prying eyes of potential informants and keep her baby safe. A chilling dystopian novel both provocative and prescient, Future Home of the Living God is a startlingly original work from one of our most acclaimed writers: a moving meditation on female agency, self-determination, biology, and natural rights that speaks to the troubling changes of our time.

Masterful...a breakout work of speculative fiction...Erdrich enters the realm of Margaret Atwood's The Handmaid's Tale...A tornadic, suspenseful, profoundly provoking novel of life's vulnerability and insistence...with a bold apocalyptic theme, searing social critique, and high-adrenaline action., "Erdrich's inclusiveness, her expansive vision of humanity surprises and pleases on every page...Erdrich's virtuosity reminds me of an eagle in flight...Her wisdom blossoms from multicultural sources and is always inviting the reader in, in, to deeper understanding and identity." -- Hudson Review "A streamlined dystopian thriller...Erdrich's tense and lyrical new work of speculative fiction stands shoulder-to-braced-shoulder right alongside The Handmaid's Tale." -- Maureen Corrigan, NPR's Fresh Air "Erdrich stuns again in Future Home of The Living God...She grounds her story in a kind of sharply drawn reality that makes the standard tropes of dark futurism that much more unnerving...Erdrich is a writer whose words carry a spiritual weight far beyond science, or fiction." -- Entertainment Weekly "Erdrich is a seer, a visionary whose politics are inextricable from her fiction...[Future Home of the Living God] is an eerie masterpiece, a novel so prescient that though it conjures an alternate reality, it often provokes the feeling that, yes this is really happening." -- O, The Oprah Magazine "In this fast-paced novel, rapid and catastrophic changes to human reproduction make the survival of the race uncertain...Erdrich imagines an America in which winter is a casualty of climate change, borders are sealed, men are 'militantly insecure,' and women's freedom is evaporating...Vivid...Compelling." -- New Yorker "Smart and thrilling...the book reads like an alternate history of our anxious current moment...Erdrich's storytelling is seductive." -- Vanity Fair "A fascinating new novel, which describes a world where evolution is running backward and the future of civilization is in doubt." -- New York Times Book Review "Philosophical yet propulsive...Future Home of the Living God is as much a thriller as it is a religious-themed literary novel -- it thrives on narrow escapes, surprise character appearances, and a perpetual sense of peril...effective and cannily imagined." -- USA Today "We recognize...the same miasma of anxiety and unease that Americans now breathe. This is fiction, of course; the details are not from our world. But the sensation is...Vivid and suspenseful...Once Cedar is imprisoned, the story turns thrilling." -- Boston Globe "Masterful...a breakout work of speculative fiction...Erdrich enters the realm of Margaret Atwood's The Handmaid's Tale...A tornadic, suspenseful, profoundly provoking novel of life's vulnerability and insistence...with a bold apocalyptic theme, searing social critique, and high-adrenaline action." -- Booklist, Starred Review "[A] startling new work of speculative fiction...strikingly relevant. Erdrich has written a cautionary tale for this very moment in time." -- Publishers Weekly, boxed review "A dazzling work of dystopian fiction a la Handmaid's Tale." -- Real Simple "Propulsive, wry, and keenly observant...this chilling speculative fiction is perfect for readers seeking the next Handmaid's Tale." -- Library Journal "An original (and utterly terrifying) creation...Haunting...smart but not pretentious. It is funny, thrilling, and heartbreaking, all without missing a beat - an impressive achievement." -- BookBrowse, Starred Review "[Erdrich] once again proves her talent for narrating a profound and compelling story." -- Ms. Magazine, Dreamlike, suspenseful...this novel is bracing, humane, dedicated to witnessing the plight of women in a cruel universe, and full of profound spiritual questions and observations. Like some of Erdrich's earlier work, it shifts adroitly in time and has a thoughtful, almost mournful insight into life on a Native reservation...There is much to rue in this novel about our world but also hope for salvation., Philosophical yet propulsive...Future Home of the Living God is as much a thriller as it is a religious-themed literary novel -- it thrives on narrow escapes, surprise character appearances, and a perpetual sense of peril...effective and cannily imagined., Propulsive, wry, and keenly observant...this chilling speculative fiction is perfect for readers seeking the next Handmaid's Tale., Erdrich is a seer, a visionary whose politics are inextricable from her fiction...[Future Home of the Living God] is an eerie masterpiece, a novel so prescient that though it conjures an alternate reality, it often provokes the feeling that, yes this is really happening., An original (and utterly terrifying) creation...Haunting...smart but not pretentious.
