The Flood - Thryft
The Flood - Thryft

Imaginative retelling of Noah's Ark, deeply human.

If you enjoy fresh takes on classic tales, "The Flood" by David Maine might just seep into your favorites. The story delves into the personal and familial dynamics aboard the legendary ark, providing a narrative that's as much about faith and destiny as it is about the intricate and tumultuous relationships within Noe's family. It's a familiar story reimagined through a lens that's raw and intimate, promising a reading experience that resonates with the trials and tribulations of being human against a backdrop of divine intervention.

Description

Noahs family (or Noe, as hes called here)his wife, sons, and daughters-in-lawtell what its like to live with a man touched by God, while struggling against events that cannot be controlled or explained. When Noe orders his sons to build an ark, he cant tell them where the wood will come from. When he sends his daughters-in-law out to gather animals, he can offer no directions, money, or protection. And once the rain starts, they all realize that the true test of their faith is just beginning. Because the family is trapped on the ark with thousands of animalswith no experience feeding or caring for them and no idea when the waters will recedewhat emerges is a family caught in the midst of an extraordinary Biblical event, with all the tension, humanity, and even humor that implies.
