Chris Adrian is a doctor who is studying at divinity school and is also a fiction writer. Overachiever, sure, but also the perfect person to write a novel about a Second Great Flood and the hospital that survives it.
Left to bob on an endless expanse of water, the staff of the children’s hospital do their best to go on caring for their patients as life gets stranger and stranger. It’s a big, strange book, but it kept me enthralled all the way to the last page.
