The Garden Of Love And Peril picks up where its predecessor left off, with Emma Winslow living out her life in the London of 2051. Emma is the 22 year-old daughter of the scientist heroine Emma Wallace Blair of The Last.Having bounced back from the devastating pathogen of years before, London circa 2051 has evolved into a forested, agrarian culture mainly peopled by the older orphans of the pandemic.Emma Winslow is a skilled nurse in the makeshift hospital of St. Paul's Cathedral in London. Her boyfriend Jason Hunter launches a trek to the Alps frontier to find his fortune, and she's compelled to follow, despite evidence that another pandemic might be breaking out.A second narrative thread brings us back to 2026, when Emma Wallace Blair first arrives in Edinburgh after escaping the collapsing New York City. The Barmy Fever has also infected the U.K. This second path of the novel follows Emma Blair as she makes her way to the north of Scotland and Isle Of Skye, and first begins to grapple with loneliness, survival, and the gain and loss of comrades. The two narratives flow like parallel rivers, following the nascent romances, perilous ordeals, and kindred journeys of both mother and daughter.
