Could you condemn one child to save another? In a near-future Europe fracturing under climate change and far-right politics, biologist Lina Stephenson works in the remote Rila Mountains. But when an old enemy dies, Lina's dangerous past resurfaces and puts her family's lives at risk. Trapped with her vulnerable sister and the dead man's family, Lina is facing pressure from all sides: her enemy's eldest son is determined to destroy her in his search for vengeance, whilst his youngest carries a sinister secret... But the forest is hiding its own threats and as a catastrophic storm closes in, Lina realises that if she is to save her family, she must become a monster... Winner of The SCKA 2022 for Best Debut, "This Is Our Undoing" is perfect for fans of Yun Ko-Eun's "The Disaster Tourist". Lorraine is an award-winning writer and biologist. Having spent years working in remote corners of the world, she now lives by the sea in Scotland and writes stories full of the wilderness and folklore, exploring themes of family, belonging, and the legacy of trauma.
