Emma Donoghue
2040. A young pigeon named Blaze lives with her large, tight-knit flock on the fifth floor of an abandoned tower in a semi-flooded New York City. Life is full of danger but also joy.
When Blaze saves the life of a stranger and welcomes him into her flock, he brings with him a story: the forgotten history of the-time-before, of what life used to be like, and of what might still be possible.
As Blaze comes of age, she must learn to navigate the thrills and terrors of survival, love, parenthood. But the stranger's story has changed everything, and soon Blaze find herself forced to choose between adhering to the beliefs of her kind or forging a new path.
