Last days in Eden

She had made me envious. Strange as it might seem, I had not known envy before.

Surely there must be other ways of living, I thought, not hand-to-mouth, alone, in a draughty old shack looking out at the same scene, day after day.

Was this to be my future?It's 2137, and the future's dark. Sixteen-year-old Flora is scraping out a humble living, selling homegrown supplies from her late grandparents' run-down Shell Shack and keeping her illegal copy of Pride and Prejudice hidden from the terrifying Uzi soldiers. But Flora's life changes when she meets Li-li, the daughter of a powerful Rice Lord.

Flora is seduced by the lavish lifestyle of her rulers, but also sees the brutality that underpins their lifestyle.

What choices will she face on her last days in Eden?
