"An engrossing book," recommended by Kirkus Reviews
A gripping thriller, a thought-provoking look into our future, and an unflinching examination of our deep need for love and connection in times of social and environmental upheaval.
New York in 2057—a metropolis divided. Sheltered by seawalls, Manhattan is green, clean, and thriving while Brooklyn and Queens have been given up to the storms and the rising Atlantic.
In this broken world, Jake Alvaro and Shavir Tayard are like Romeo and Juliet, only that Jake works for Homeland Security and Shavir would be charged as a terrorist should she ever get caught.
Jake works for Homeland because he is brilliant at securing critical medical drugs in a broken world running out of everything. Haunted by the loss of his family, he is a sensitive man with too much amphetamine in his blood who can’t afford to care for anyone, least of all a woman who is keeping secrets from him.
Shavir thinks of herself as a part-time barista, a community farmer, and an underground activist fighting for the forgotten and discarded in what is left of Brooklyn. Her heart beats for the people on a sprawling rooftop farm called Roots and for the animals she pulls out of cages at night. The last thing she needs in her life is a Homeland guy, and yet she can’t keep her distance from Jake.
Jake’s view of whose lives must be saved and who can be sacrificed is challenged when Shavir takes him across the East River to the people he was told to ignore. Soon, they both start to question the fragile truths they built their lives upon.
A boldly original fusion of ideas and genres, Fragile is deeply immersive and eerily realistic.
