About the Book
Catherine Woulfe from The Spinoff calls the book “uncanny, unsettling, [and] brilliant,” while Publishers Weekly notes that “This thoughtful work is a reminder of humanity’s connection and responsibility to the natural world.” The Impossible Resurrection of Grief is the story of marine biologist Ruby and The Grief, an unstoppable melancholia that ends in suicide. When Ruby’s friend, mourning the loss of the Great Barrier Reef, succumbs to the Grief, the letters she leaves behind reveal the hidden world of the resurrected dead. The Tasmanian tiger, brought back from extinction in an isolated facility, is only the first… but rebirth is not always biological, and it comes with a price. As a scientist, Ruby resists the Grief by focusing her research on resilient jellyfish, but she can’t avoid choosing which side she’s on. Struggling with the loss of her friend and the impending loss of her marriage, can Ruby fight against the dead and the forces behind them when doing so risks her home, her life, and the entire biosphere?
