Summary:
A startlingly beautiful tale of a family’s survival, The End We BEGIN FROM is a haunting but hopeful dystopian vision of the familiar world made dangerous and unstable.
‘Engrossing, compelling’ – Naomi Alderman, writer of The Power
‘I was moved, terrified, uplifted – sometimes all three in once’ – Tracy Chevalier, writer of Girl With a Pearl Earring
Megan Hunter’s honed and extra prose paints an imagined future as realistic as it is terrifying. Though the nation is falling apart around them about THE FINISH We BEGIN FROM and its people are forced to be refugees, this family’s globe – of new lease of life and new wish – sings with like.
In the midst of a mysterious environmental crisis, as London is submerged below flood waters, a woman gives birth to her first child. Days later, the family members are compelled to leave their home searching for safety. As they move from place to place, shelter to shelter, their trip traces both dread and question as the baby’s small fists understand at the items he views, as he grows and stretches, growing and articles against all of the odds.
With Benedict Cumberbatch calling it ‘a stunning tale of motherhood’, film privileges have been sold to his creation company SunnyMarch.
