The Raven's Song Summary

The Raven's Song by Bren MacDibble

The Raven's Song alternates between the stories of Phoenix, who lives in a near-future world impacted by climate change and a devastating pandemic; and Shelby, one hundred years in the future in a post-pandemic, post-pollution, post-city world where each community is exactly three hundred and fifty people sustainably subsisting on seven hundred hectares. The story of a world that is beginning to fall apart, and a chance to see it all put back together, The Raven's Song is a vision of hope for the future, seen through the eyes of the young people who will fight for it.

The Raven's Song Reviews

An extraordinary tale, a weaving of narratives exploring present and future. A brilliant story from two incredibly talented writers, each voice adding further depth to the worlds created by Fraillon and MacDibble. Highly original, and thought provoking. I loved it. -- Gill Lewis, Author
Zana Fraillon and Bren MacDibble have created a superbly satisfying dual-voice narrative, one which is alternately harrowing, dream-like, challenging and tender. The love Phoenix and Shelby share for a beautiful, broken land is matched only by their tenacious spirit and fierce family loyalty. Readers are inexorably brought full circle in a truly remarkable novel: hope lives in a seed and an ancient song. -- Alison Brumwell
Hauntingly beautiful storytelling from two perspectives where myth merges with sci-fi to bring two lives separated by a century together. * MissClevelandisreading blog *
The themes of children teetering on the brink of adulthood and having their futures sacrificed by adult carelessness is as heart-breaking as it is beautifully and metaphorically written. -- Veronica Price * V's View from the Bookshelves blog *
