For a book that can be breezed through in a couple of hours, this pseudonymously written novella manages to plumb the modern-day human dilemma with surprising depth and emotion.- Frank Kaminski, resilience.orgEvokes a transformed world without resorting to the false choice between Star Trek and Mad Max.- Patrick Marchman, Founder of the Climate Migration and Managed Retreat member groupAs climate chaos approaches, what can stories offer? How does art help us make sense of our inertia and denialism, and how can it help us cope with the changes to come? There are no easy answers, but "The Disappearing Shore" can begin the conversation.- Sarah Outterson Murphy, Teacher of Literature and Writing, Princeton, New JerseyA quick read that touches on many aspects of climate change and its effects not only on the planet but necessarily on its inhabitants, this novella is a short, sharp taste of something that many people don't want to think about, but absolutely should.- Jemimah Halbert Brewster, Oddfeather CreativeI'd recommend The Disappearing Shore to anyone who is concerned about climate change and what it might mean for the lives of future generations.- Long and Short Reviews---This timely novella features an engaging cast of unlikely heroes who have gazed into the future and don't like what they see. Some will have to live there while others will be long gone. The one thing they all share is a determination to stop widespread collapse and restore the damaged world.They have no illusions. They know they're up against powerful forces that see the Earth as a resource grab rather than the living wonder it is. Still, they refuse to back down and shut up, despite their own doubts and the widespread indifference that surrounds them.Following their impassioned protests-full of candour and dark humour-"The Disappearing Shore" imagines a much different tomorrow where their legacy continues in ways they could never imagine.We are at an extraordinary point in human history and this ground-breaking work of fiction by Roberta Park gives a voice to those who refuse to look away.
