About the Book

If you found love in a world on the brink of collapse, would you risk everything for it? In a not-so-distant future, the planet has been ravaged by climate change, causing a world-wide scarcity of pharmaceuticals, food, and other essentials for survival. New York City is a metropolis divided. Sheltered by enormous seawalls, Manhattan is green, clean, and thriving while the exposed eastern boroughs have been given up to the rising Atlantic. Shavir Tayard, barista and committed community farmer by day, rescuer of animals by night, is on an dog liberation raid in the evacuation zone of Brooklyn when she sustains an injury that changes her relationship with the cute regular at her coffee shop-and her life. Jake Alvaro is a troubled Homeland Security agent tasked with securing medical drugs for New York in a world running out of everything. His worldview of whose lives are worth saving, and who must be sacrificed is challenged when Shavir takes him across the East River to the people he was told to ignore. Soon, he begins to question the fragile truths he built his life upon. A man responsible for keeping New York City alive falls for an underground animal activist from the wrong side of the East River in this compelling fiction debut about love, loss, and resilience after eco-catastrophe.

Review :
"This striking fiction debut sets a character-rich story of connection and political awakening in a dystopian future New York where Manhattan and Brooklyn are behind seawalls and the Earth has been ravaged by climate change and resource scarcity."-BOOKLIFE "At the heart of this thought-provoking novel are two damaged people trying to build a relationship while working at cross purposes to help society amid dealing with a broken system's inequities... An engrossing book that holds out hope despite all the mistakes made by humans."-KIRKUS REVIEWS "A compelling near-future dystopia about climate collapse and helping the vulnerable survive"-INDEPENDENT BOOK REVIEW "Alexa Weik von Mossner's debut novel is, by turns, thrilling, thoughtful, romantic, terrifying, and imagi-native. Pick Fragile up at your own peril-I promise that you won't want to put it down." -KAREEM TAYYAR, Author of The Prince of Orange County Weik von Mossner's gripping novel Fragile hits the target on the most urgent problems of scale that come with climate change. Global ecological crises and disrupted supply lines are part of Jake Alvaro's everyday job routine: securing medications for urban hospitals saves the lives of New Yorkers, but kills people elsewhere. Fragile takes climate fiction to a new level: a fast-paced, suspenseful must-read for anyone interested in our planet's future." -URSULA HEISE, Author of Imagining Extinction "Fragile is a scarily topical tale of what soon may come to be in our fast-changing world. And it's also a moving love story between two people from opposite sides of the track, both trying desperately to save the world they love. I read it with huge enjoyment.-SUSANNAH WATERS, Author of Cold Comfort "One of the most exciting elements is how visual this near-future version of New York is, split between being greener, with less cars and gardens and plants everywhere, while also half the city has been swept under water." -THE BLACK LIST
