The Waning Age
The Waning Age | S. E. Grove, Sylvia Sellers Garcia
2 posts | 2 read | 4 to read
From the New York Times bestselling author of The Glass Sentence, a lightly speculative, relevant puzzlebox with undertones of Never Let Me Go. In a parallel present San Francisco, Natalia Pea works as a hotel maid, practices martial arts, and cares for her eleven-year-old brother, Calvino. In this version of our world, all children start to "wane" when they reach Cal's age; by their teen years, they've lost their ability to feel emotion. But Cal isn't waning. When a mysterious corporation kidnaps him for testing, Natalia's reaction surprises her: she's crushed, and she'll do anything to save her brother from their experiments. But the road to his rescue leads her into the path of a dashing but troubled billionaire's son, a cadre of killers, and, eventually, the shocking truth about waning. Filled with twists and turns, The Waning Age is a powerful mirror that shows us the danger of becoming desensitized to violence and the remarkable, transformative power of love.

I‘ve been quiet lately; I‘ve been finishing the 2019 calendar for the cat rescue, and I lost my voice! 😹

So #TheWaningAge blew my mind. Set in an alternate present-day San Francisco, everyone ‘wanes‘ at the age of 10, meaning they lose the ability to feel emotion. Read my review! 👉🏼

BookishTrish Get well soon! 6y
kamoorephoto @VeganCleopatra It's the rescue I've taken photos at for 9 years now, Seattle Area Feline Rescue; yes, all proceeds go to help the kitties (we are a small no-kill rescue that runs solely on donations and fundraising). I will post the ordering link! I'm so excited for everyone to see the calendar! 💓😻 6y
VeganCleopatra Great, look forward to it! 6y
