TILT

Annie is nine months pregnant. Shes shopping for a crib at IKEA. Thats when the massive earthquake hits. Theres nothing to do but walk. Annie is 37 weeks pregnant standing in IKEA finally about to take home the crib she should have bought months ago. Thats when it happens the long-anticipated Cascadia Earthquake dismantling Portland and the entire Pacific Northwest in a matter of minutes. Propulsive disruptive funny terrifying Tilt is a novel about how the foundations of our lives are built and shaken. About a woman trying to walk back to the husband shes long been pushing away. About put-off dreams and inevitability and what makes us keep moving forward. ''The most embodied twenty-four hours of narrative I can remember reading. Through the eyes of the prickly funny and very pregnant narrator we viscerally experience the surreal unbearable comic and beautiful ways that humans behave in a crisis. The Road meets Nightbitch meets What to Expect When Youre Expecting. I loved this novel'' LYDIA KIESLING author of The Golden State and Mobility
