About this listen
THE PERFECT ESCAPE. THE PERFECT NIGHTMARE.
Martha and Finn's marriage is hanging by a thread. Martha, crippled by paralyzing climate anxiety, finds herself at odds with Finn, who steadfastly refuses to confront the demons of his past.
In a desperate attempt to repair their relationship, they join a group of privileged tourists on a pilgrimage to The Salt Centre, a mysterious retreat nestled deep within the Bolivian salt flats.
United by a shared quest for spiritual enlightenment, the group embark on a journey guided by an elusive shaman. As a series of salt ceremonies unfold, hallucinogenic episodes force each of them to confront their own versions of reality.
When the final ceremony descends into a nightmare, Martha and Finn are met with an ultimatum. Forced to grapple with the moral implications of their trip they must ask themselves: are some wounds too deep to heal?

You can’t stop listening
Mesmerising and thought provoking. This is the third book by Rachelle Atalla that I’ve read. I admire her character building and the way she immerses the reader into a world very close to our own. The genre of climate fiction is one that always leaves me with a feeling of unease and alarm. Very similar to the intense emotion her main characters are experiencing. This story is so relatable and intriguing, one that will stay with me long after; in the sane way Thirsty Animals did. Now to read The Pharmacist which was her debut, I hear equally good reviews.

Third great novel
Excellent storyline. Different from the first 2 but just as enjoyable. Highly recommend this book.
