In the aftermath of his brother Jared's disappearance, Joe Geist reluctantly seeks help from an enigmatic homeless man. Having little success in finding Jared, Joe enlists the aid of a freelance reporter who thinks she may have stumbled on the story of a lifetime.

One hundred years after Jared vanishes, civil society has collapsed due to environmental devastation. Marauders steal water and food to survive. George, a seven-year-old boy, finds his life forever changed when he is forced to flee his home after raiders attack his mother and sister.

Written from the point of view of multiple characters, this novel asks, "Can human actions prevent the loss of all we hold dear?” The ending provides a hopeful and uplifting answer.

The Space Between Dark and Light is a sequel to ICall Myself Earth Girl and also a satisfying stand-alone novel.

BOOKLIFE REVIEW in PUBLISHERS WEEKLY

A time-crossed climate fiction story as thrilling as it is urgently relevant. This ambitious novel from Greene invests readers in parallel plots unfolding simultaneously on the page but a century apart for the characters—one in the present, and the other in a near-future of eco catastrophe, where society has collapsed and people will kill for water. In the present, readers meet Joe Geist, who is looking for his lost brother Jared, a search in which he’s being helped by journalist Anne Miller and an unhoused man by the name of W.H. Davies. A century from now, there is George, a seven-year-old boy who flees his home when it is invaded by raiders and sets out to find his lost sister. The stories seem strangely interconnected as The Space Between Dark and Light moves between them. The mystery becomes not just what will happen to Greene’s compellingly drawn characters, but what does George’s future have to do with today? Right from the start, Greene has a firm grasp over the dual plotline, as each chapter shifts between Joe and George’s point of view. The suspense works, and readers find themselves guessing and theorizing about possible connections. Greene does a great job building characters, imbuing each with intriguing peculiarities and relatable emotions. She also deftly handles scenes of action that stir tension, shock, and that trickiest of narrative qualities: an immediate sense of what-next? momentum.

The ending, though, doesn’t quite live up to the beautifully assured buildup, as the final pages offer much summarizing and moralizing. Still, the novel has a gripping plot, twists that will keep readers intrigued, and a chilling glimpse of a possible future where “Sometimes, only the children get to eat. Most days everyone gets water.” Lovers of futuristic novels and climate fiction will enjoy this book, which is as thrilling as it is frighteningly relevant.
