The Year of the Flood. Every time I find a book by Margaret Atwood I buy it, rent it, or borrow it. This time I was lucky enough to find TWO of her novels at the local library. I read the dust covers and was thrilled to learn they were both sequels to Oryx and Crake. Which I read last summer. The two books were The Year of the Flood. The Year of the Flood.

Everyone thinks of changing the world, but no one thinks of changing themselves. For a cow to produce milk, like any other mammal she must first be pregnant. A dairy cow is therefore artificially impregnated to ensure her production of milk. Shortly after she has given birth her child is stolen away from her, and her milk is taken for human consumption. In some cases mother cows can be heard calling for their babies for days.
