このコンテンツについて
From the acclaimed author of The Stardust Grail comes the epic tale of two sisters who sail across oceans to find their missing third sister—and Earth’s environmental salvation. This program is read by fan favorite and multi-award-winning narrator Eunice Wong.
In Earth's not too distant future, seas consume coastal cities, highways disintegrate underwater, and mutant fish lurk in pirate-controlled depths. Skipper, a skilled sailor and the youngest of three sisters, earns money skimming and reselling plastic from the ocean to care for her ailing grandmother.
But then her eldest sister, Nora, goes missing. Nora left home a decade ago in pursuit of a cure for failing crops all over the world. When Skipper and her other sister, Carmen, receive a cryptic plea for help, they must put aside their differences and set out across the sea to find—and save—her. As they voyage through a dying world both beautiful and strange, encountering other travelers along the way, they learn more about their sister's work and the corporations that want what she discovered.
But the farther they go, the more uncertain their mission becomes: What dangerous attention did Nora attract, and how well do they really know their sister—or each other? Thus begins an epic journey spanning oceans and continents and a wistful rumination on sisterhood, friendship, and ecological disaster.

"A quiet but riveting story about life on a changing planet, this novel offers a realistic picture of the future we may experience, while never straying from the characters’ inner journeys and love for sailing at the heart of the novel... Wonderfully constructed and told, the sisters’ world is one full of both darkness and hope, as humans continue to find their way in a crumbling, changed environment. Luminous, credible, and engrossing from beginning to end."—Kirkus, starred review
"Kitasei demonstrates her range in this moving portrayal of sibling dynamics set in a disturbing near future... Kitasei pays as much attention to her protagonist’s nuanced inner life as to the page-turning apocalyptic plotline, creating a tale that feels both intimate and expansive. It’s an impressive feat."—Publishers Weekly, starred review
"A compelling tale of sisterhood involving risky situations that shows how the women reconcile their feelings of being different from one another while remaining connected."—Booklist
