Sarah Blake’s new novel, Clean Air, is a haunting parable that explores how we seek control in an unpredictable world. It has been ten years since deadly levels of pollen rendered the air unbreathable and civilization has been confined to airtight domes to survive. Within one such dome, Izabel raises her daughter, while burying her discontent at what the world took from her. But any semblance of stability is shattered when a killer stalks her neighborhood. Izabel becomes fixated on tracking them down and understanding what could compel someone to destroy lives just as humanity has begun to flourish again.
