As Maya recalls her upbringing--from a commune run by anarchist nuns to a time of rural isolation before her mother's disappearance--Mellis's prose gorgeously conjures a life defined by revolutionary thought and action and the interplay and tension between family life and political commitment. At once a fantasy, a handbook to political thought, and a work of eco-fiction, this lush novel meditates on how, in a world on the precipice, dreams of communal care can bloom.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Nightboat Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51942039388391,"sku":"9781643622750","price":17.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0449\/4075\/5096\/files\/imageloader_5a25e869-cc6b-48d5-aa34-ded55c714cfa.jpg?v=1775244189","url":"https:\/\/arvidabookco.com\/products\/crocosmia","provider":"Arvida Book Co.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
