As Maya recalls her upbringing—from a commune run by anarchist nuns to a time of rural isolation before her mother's disappearance—Mellis's prose gorgeously conjures a life defined by revolutionary thought and action and the interplay and tension between family life and political commitment. At once a fantasy, a handbook to political thought, and a work of eco-fiction, this lush novel meditates on how, in a world on the precipice, dreams of communal care can bloom.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47605526003948,"sku":"9781643622750","price":34.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781643622750-crocosmia.jpg?v=1778131405"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/miranda-mellis.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
