Literature & Fiction The End We Start From is strange and
powerful, and very apt for these uncertain times. I was moved,
terrified, uplifted--sometimes all three at once. It takes skill to
manage that, and Hunter has a poet's understanding of how to make
each word count.--Tracy Chevalier, author of Girl With a Pearl
Earring Preempted by publishers around the world within days of the
2016 London Book Fair, The End We Start From heralds the arrival of
Megan Hunter, a dazzling and unique literary talent. Hunter's debut
is a searing original, a modern-day parable of rebirth and renewal,
of maternal bonds, and the instinct to survive and thrive in the
absence of all that's familiar. As London is submerged below
floodwaters, a woman gives birth to her first child, Z. Days later,
she and her baby are forced to leave their home in search of
safety. They head north through a newly dangerous country seeking
refuge from place to place. The story traces fear and wonder as the
baby grows, thriving and content against all the odds. The End We
Start From is an indelible and elemental first book--a lyrical
vision of the strangeness and beauty of new motherhood, and a tale
of endurance in the face of ungovernable change. "In elegiac lines,
Hunter tells a love story through the eyes of a new mother, who
witnesses the death of an old life and the start of a new one...a
perfect portrait of rebirth the final testament that time, and
life, do go on, despite our best efforts."--Cotton Codinha, Elle
