«Dark Flood Rises» is a literary fiction novel by Margaret Drabble, published by Canongate Books in paperback (336 pages, in English).
Francesca Stubbs, an expert in housing for the elderly, travels across England and assesses her independence while thinking about death. The story interweaves her family and friends with a community of expatriates in the Canary Islands, where a possible disaster looms: tides rise in Britain and war drives migrants from the Middle East. It thus raises what life is worth and how to face an uncertain end.
The cover presents the title as «The Dark Flood Rises». The work was originally published in 2016; this edition is from 2017.
Suitable for book clubs and readers of contemporary literary fiction, as it addresses old age, autonomy, and mortality.
Dame Margaret Drabble, Lady Holroyd is an English biographer, novelist and short story writer.
