“Cade\u2019s strength shines in her beautiful descriptions … This thoughtful work is a reminder of humanity\u2019s connection and responsibility to the natural world.”
\u2014 Publishers Weekly (link<\/a>)<\/p>

“Uncanny, unsettling, brilliant, etcetera; as well as the thylacines there are jellyfish, robots, rock wrens, rats, and a new kind of psychological devastation that flourishes and evolves as everything else collapses. Called simply \u201cGrief\u201d, it is contagious, and hard to spot, and it feels like a creature that\u2019s already here.”
\u2014 Catherine Woulfe, The Spinoff Book Report (link<\/a>)<\/p>

IN A DYING WORLD, GRIEF HAS A LIFE OF ITS OWN…<\/em><\/strong>

With the collapse of ecosystems and the extinction of species comes the Grief: an unstoppable melancholia that ends in suicide. When Ruby\u2019s 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\u2019t avoid choosing which side she\u2019s on. How can she fight against the dead and the forces behind them when doing so risks her home, her life, and the entire biosphere?<\/p>

The cover, by Canadian artist and designer Rachel Lobbenberg<\/a>, features two thylacines (an extinct Australian marsupial also known as the Tasmanian tiger), a spray of Australian flora, and little New Zealand rock wrens flying about over a distressed velvet background.<\/p>
