About the book – « La serre du bout du monde »
Published by Decrescenzo éditeurs
Translated by Son Mihae et Jean-Pierre Zubiate
A cloud of dust invades the Earth, forcing populations to take refuge under domes where individualism reigns supreme. While a few immune people try to survive in the heart of the chaos, hope is reborn since a remote village holds the key to the mystery. When a young biologist discovers by chance a plant with enigmatic properties, the probable source of the ecological catastrophe, she decides to deepen her research on mosvana.
“La Serre du bout du monde is a note of hope in the current climate of social and ecological concern, and a very accessible introduction to ecofeminism in science fiction.”
Faustine Thivet, Keulmadang
