'Entertaining, and intriguing.' - Radio NZ
If the only way to address the global population crisis and degradation of the planet was to limit everyone's lifespan to 70 years, would you go along with it? Or would you fight to live? This is the dilemma faced by Claris, the narrator of The Collections. Her beloved husband has been taken to a Collections Depot to be euthanised, and his body mulched to feed reforestation, and soon it will be her turn. Should Claris abide by the laws, or should she break it?
Patricia Donovan has created a haunting narrative that explores the fragility of our social fabric and, ultimately, our humanit. Written with grace and a luminous intensity, The Collections delivers a startling story about taking control of one's own fate.
