'One of the most significant literary artists of the twentieth
century' JUNOT DIAZ 'Octavia Butler was playing out our very real
possibilities as humans. I think she can help each of us to do the
same' GLORIA STEINEM One woman is called upon to reconstruct
humanity in this hopeful, thought-provoking novel by the
bestselling, award-winning author. For readers of Margaret Atwood,
Toni Morrison and Ursula K. Le Guin. When Lilith lyapo wakes in a
small white room with no doors or windows, she remembers a
devastating war, and a husband and child long lost to her. She
finds herself living among the Oankali, a strange race who
intervened in the fate of humanity hundreds of years before. They
spared those they could from the ruined Earth, and suspended them
in a long, deep sleep. Over centuries, the Oankali learned from the
past, cured disease and healed the world. Now they want Lilith to
lead her people back home. But salvation comes at a price - to
restore humanity, it must be changed forever... PRAISE FOR OCTAVIA
E. BUTLER, THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR 'In the ongoing
contest over which dystopian classic is most applicable to our
time... for sheer peculiar prescience, Butler's novel may be
unmatched' NEW YORKER 'Butler's prose, always pared back to the
bone, delineates the painful paradoxes of metamorphosis with
compelling precision' GUARDIAN 'Octavia Butler was a visionary'
VIOLA DAVIS 'Her evocative, often troubling, novels explore
far-reaching issues of race, sex, power and, ultimately, what it
means to be human' NEW YORK TIMES 'An icon of the Afrofuturism
world, envisioning literary realms that placed black characters
front and center' VANITY FAIR 'Butler writes with such a
familiarity that the alien is welcome and intriguing. She really
artfully exposes our human impulse to self-destruct' LUPITA NYONG'O
