Description
The sequel to the award-winning post-apocalypic novel The Wordsmith. There's a new new leader of Ark and the battle to save language, art and music is far from over.
‘For Letta is one of the best heroines... Steadfast, strong and unwaveringly resilient, she is the driving force behind why this series is becoming so revered.’
'Mother Tongue, and predecessor The Wordsmith, are both brilliantly devised stories.'
'Totally enthralling ... a world where the horror of climate change has been realised but despite the despair, the hope of humanity lives on.'
'This vivid world and courageous heroine will enthral readers and is ideal for book clubs.'
'Letta is a fantastic protagonist ... contemplative, doubting of herself but firm in her resolve. Her strength comes from a rounded mix of qualities.'
