The Greenling - Paperback

by David L. Booram (Author)

Corporatocracy reigns...

Have you ever wondered what life on Earth will be like in the not-too-distant future? The Greenling transports you to 2060, where you will meet Noah, a young Irish woman who finds herself at the tipping point of the planet's climate catastrophe.

Because of her strange connections with non-human life, she is misunderstood by her family and peers. Through her growing sensitivity to Nature's communications, Noah realizes she is being chosen to lead an impending planetary reset-one on a direct collision course with global corporatocracy's unstoppable lust for greed and control.

As she strives to effect environmental change through local and global activism, she begins to wonder if instead of fighting for Nature, it's time to fight alongside Nature, which has become increasingly sentient with a mind and plan of its own.

Has humanity waited too long? Has Nature been too patient? The stage is now set for what comes next-the beginning of the last battle.

The Greenling blends elements of eco-fiction and magical realism into a relatable coming-of-age call of protest and resistance. This beautifully written, multilayered, and, at times, mystical story follows its endearing and complex characters as they face their unique struggles and triumphs. As their surprising journey unfolds, it progresses from rural Ireland to the Amazon rainforest, through the university halls of Toronto, and finally to the remote realms of Northern Scotland.
