City in Flames

PRAISE FOR CITY IN FLAMES



“City in Flames is a sharp, spirited exploration of the forces that can separate and bring us together. A modern dystopian love story set amidst an alarmingly recognizable world that finds tenderness in the chaos.”

—Iain Reid, author of I’m Thinking of Ending Things, Foe, and We Spread



“City in Flames is a charming and invigorating addition to the modern dystopian genre. Like all great speculative fiction, it’s a profound examination of the fragility of civilization and the strength of the human spirit when intimacy is needed most. With this novel, Tomas Hachard has tapped into the essence of humanity, fostering a powerful spirit of love and hope as the world we know crumbles to make way for something new. It’s an ideal love story for the twenty-first century.”

—Waubgeshig Rice, author of Moon of the Crusted Snow



"An original and tender love story at the heart of a fiery political drama that cuts close to the bone. I cared so much about Kevin and Sara — their messages to one another in this almost-epistolary novel are equal parts hilarious, raw, and vulnerable, and you will fall in love with these characters, who are trying their best to live in a very flawed world."

—Harriet Alida Lye, author of The Honey Farm and Natural Killer
