Blaze

Set in a semi-flooded New York City in 2040, this story follows Blaze, a young pigeon living with her close-knit flock in an abandoned tower, as she navigates the challenges of survival, love, and growing up. When she saves a stranger and learns about forgotten history and possible futures, Blaze faces a pivotal choice between tradition and change. Emma Donoghue’s first work of speculative fiction combines imagination and empathy, exploring themes of community, belief, and transformation.
