(2025) All the Water in the World by Eiren Caffall

  • Summary

  • All the Water in the World by Eiren Caffall is a 2025 novel.

    This work of fiction tells the story of a young woman named Nonie who has a special connection to water. The story takes place after a series of environmental disasters, including a hypercane that floods New York City, where Nonie and her family live in the American Museum of Natural History, which they call "Amen".

    The book follows Nonie and her family, including her older sister Bix, her father, and their friends, as they struggle to survive in a changed world. The family keeps two logbooks, a "Museum Logbook" to preserve knowledge and a "Water Logbook" to understand the changing weather and water patterns. When a catastrophic storm destroys their home, the group must travel to their last safe place, the taiga of Tyringham. They use a hidden birchbark canoe to travel up the Hudson River [8-10]. Along the way, they encounter other survivors, some helpful, others dangerous.

    The journey is fraught with challenges, including sickness, injury, and loss, as they try to find their way and build a new life in the face of a dramatically changed world. The story explores themes of memory, knowledge, family, and the importance of preserving the past in order to build a better future.
