About SALVAGE:

Two estranged sisters reconnect in the aftermath of ecological and social collapse.

They drift in their sleep, waiting for something. The end of the world, or another escape. But the world is still here. There’s no escaping it.

Jude won’t talk about her past. Or her sister Celeste, lost in the tragic failure of a space station that was supposed to save her, and the other ultra-rich, from the wreckage of a dying world.

When an escape pod falls from the sky, its passenger near death, Jude knows her anonymous existence can’t continue. As the fragile peace of her community is put at risk, Jude must re-examine the terms of her survival – and her exile.

Salvage is a gripping novel of literary speculative fiction that asks: what does it mean to care for each other, after the end of the world?

Salvage is an incredible novel of great imagination and prescience ... Jennifer Mills is the real deal: an author who never loses sight of what it means to be human, even when writing a speculative future so familiar it seems inevitable. I loved it. 
-Hannah Kent, author of Devotion and Always Home, Always Homesick

Heartbreaking, tender, hopeful and tough . . . Jennifer Mills is one of Australia's best writers. No one does speculative fiction as poetically or tenderly or compassionately as she does.

-Alice Robinson, author of If You Go and The Glad Shout
