Love in the Time of Global Warming

Written by Francesca Lia Block

Narrated by Julia Whelan

A stunning reimagining of Homer’s Odyssey set in post-Apocalyptic Los Angeles, written by A master storyteller.

Her life by the sea in ruins, Pen has lost everything in the Earth Shaker that all but destroyed the city of Los Angeles. She sets out into the wasteland to search for her family, her journey guided by a tattered copy of Homer’s Odyssey. Soon she begins to realize her own abilities and strength as she faces false promises of safety, the cloned giants who feast on humans, and a madman who wishes her dead. On her voyage, Pen learns to tell stories that reflect her strange visions, while she and her fellow survivors navigate the dangers that lie in wait.

In her signature style, Francesca Lia Block has created a world that is beautiful in its destruction and as frightening as it is lovely. At the helm is Pen, a strong heroine who holds hope and love in her hands and refuses to be defeated.

Reviews for Love in the Time of Global Warming

[Tiffani Smith · Rating: 2 out of 5 stars]

This was weird, and I wasn’t a fan of it.

[blue.girl · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

It requires a lot of suspension of belief. I don’t think I’ll ever read it again but it was enjoyable enough to listen to.
