β¦ Synopsis
She said we didnβt know what the world out there had become. We had been alone there so long on that tiny island, in that tiny church.
But in the night, I couldnβt bear it.
My chest beat like wings.
Identical twin sisters Summer and Winter live alone on a remote island, sheltered from a destroyed world. They survive on rations stockpiled by their father and spend their days deep in their motherβs collection of classic literatureβuntil a mysterious stranger upends their carefully constructed reality.
At first, Edward is a welcome distraction. But who is he really, and why has he come? As love blooms and the world stops spinning, the secrets of the girlsβ past begin to unravel and escape is the only option.
A sumptuously written novel of love and grief; of sisterly affection and the ultimate sacrifice; of technological progress and climate catastrophe; of an enigmatic bear and a talking whaleβThe End of the World Is Bigger than Love is unlike anything youβve read before.
