Get Future Home Of The Living God By Louise Erdrich PNG. Set in an imminent future where twentysomethings just about remember snow from childhood, future home of the living god owes an obvious debt to atwood, as well as to pd james's the children of men. Set in an indeterminate future that could well be just a few decades away — 90 degrees is an unusually cool day for august in minnesota, where the novel is set, and the first winter.

The dystopian novel centres on the struggles of a pregnant woman following a catastrophic global event. During a biological apocalypse set two months in the future, when the borders between mexico and canada are sealed off, cedar hawk songmaker—26, pregnant, and with a burning independent streak—eventually learns why the government will do. But erdrich operating at less than full capacity is still a stunner: Erdrich's next novel, future home of the living god (2017), was something of a departure from her previous works.
