Tilt: A Novel [J0250-PB]

2025 PB in Nice clean condition. Set over the course of a single day, an electrifying debut novel following one woman's journey across a transformed city, carrying the weight of her past and a fervent hope for the future. Annie is nine months pregnant and shopping for a crib at IKEA when a massive earthquake hits Portland, Oregon. With no way to reach her husband, no phone or money, and a city left in chaos, there's nothing to do but walk. Making her way across the wreckage of Portland, Annie experiences human desperation and kindness: strangers offering help, a riot at a grocery store, and an unlikely friendship with a young mother. As she walks, Annie reflects on her struggling marriage, her disappointing career, and her anxiety about having a baby. If she can just make it home, she's determined to change her life.

From recent Amazon/GoodReads reviews: "I really enjoyed this book, it is stressful at times, it makes you think about what you would do in that situation, and then you future trip and get scared about this all happening for real."; "Devoured in one sitting. Desperately wish there was more!"; "So intense!!! Had me on the edge of my seat and holding my breath wondering what was going to happen next!"
