Ewan Morrison makes his American debut with this darkly comic and electrifyingly twisty thriller with echoes of Emily St. John Mandel, Lionel Shriver, and Richard Powers, in which a teenage girl and her brother are abducted by their survivalist father who believes the apocalypse has begun.
My name is Haley Cooper Crowe and I am in lockdown in a remote location I can't tell you about.
Children of divorce, Haley and Ben live with their mother. But their dad believes there's a new, much deadlier pandemic coming and is determined to keep them alive. He wants to take them to his prepper hideaway where they will be safe from other people. NOW. But there's no way their mother will go along with his plan. Saving them requires extreme measures.
Kidnapped by their father and confined to his compound far off the grid, Haley and Ben have no contact with the outside world. How can they save their mother? Will they make it out alive? Is the threat real, or is this all just a dark fantasy brought on by their conspiracy obsessed father's warped imagination?
Propulsive and chilling in its realism, “How to Survive Everything” is the story of a world imploding; a teenage girl's record for negotiating the collapse of everything she knows, including her family and sanity.
