WONDERLAND ROAD
A Novel
An apocalyptic fairy tale about what remains when everything we know comes to an end, told in part by a raccoon and a crow.
In the near future, the collapse of social and political order turns a city upside down. Those who can afford it are leaving in droves for fortress communities to the north while those left behind are either migrating to the "Farms" to fill the gaps in the global supply chain or figuring out how to survive under the new conditions set out by a mega corporation, Bayson Inc. For the poor and marginalized, it's a story of ingenuity, resilience, and hope.
Just because things are teetering towards disaster doesn't mean that life has stopped. Some, like Pauline, are alone and mourning for lost loved ones; young adults such as Julian, who is gay, are trying to find purpose when the certainty of a known future is gone; and small, lonely girls like Jing find companionship by befriending crows. In a small neighbourhood in the suburbs of the city, community members of both the human and animal variety work side-byside in order to find new ways to live.
Wonderland Road is a novel replete with hope for a new beginning even in the face of despair. Carrianne Leung brings deft insight to humanity's reaction to an approaching finale and shows what really matters.
