A strong ending to a strong volume. A layered story, with a post-climactic change India under water, a woman from a poor background who has abilities that the authorities are wishing to use in order to get out of the mess, those abilities which enable her to peek into the past, a past which informs the future. The story is mostly internal to her : her thoughts, dreams, nightmares, hopes. Not a story with a simple storyline, and it’s ambiguous, and all the better for it.
