«The Flood» is the novel by David Maine, published by Canongate Books in paperback (272 pages, in English).
The novel recreates the flood from the perspective of Noah's family: his wife, his sons and his daughters-in-law live with a man marked by God who asks them to build an ark and trust in faith without further explanation. When the rain begins, the family is shut in with thousands of animals and discovers that the test of their faith is only just beginning.
The work was originally published as The Preservationist; in 2004 it was longlisted for the Guardian First Book Award.
For readers of literary and historical fiction, interested in reinterpretations of biblical stories, and for book clubs.
