Publisher's summary
In this postapocalyptic story of mystery, suspense, grief, and loss, a girl processes her mother’s death as a serial killer’s presence makes her already dangerous world even more deadly.
The climate apocalypse has come and gone, and in the end it wasn't the temperature climbing or the waters rising. It was the trees. They created enough pollen to render the air unbreathable, and the world became overgrown.
In the decades since the event known as the Turning, humanity has rebuilt, and Izabel has grown used to the airtight domes that now contain her life. She raises her young daughter, Cami, and attempts to make peace with her mother's death. She tries hard to be satisfied with this safe, prosperous new world, but instead she just feels stuck.
And then the tranquility of her town is shattered. Someone—a serial killer—starts slashing through the domes at night, exposing people to the deadly pollen. At the same time, Cami begins sleep-talking, having whole conversations about the murders that she doesn't remember after she wakes. Izabel becomes fixated on the killer, on both tracking him down and understanding him. What could compel someone to take so many lives after years dedicated to sheer survival, with society finally flourishing again?
Suspenseful and startling, but also poetic and written with a wry, observant humor, this “skillful blend of postapocalyptic science fiction, supernatural murder mystery, and domestic drama is unexpected and entirely engrossing” (Publishers Weekly).

Story
Elsa Park is a particle physicist at the top of her game, stationed at a neutrino observatory in the Antarctic, confident she's put enough distance between her ambitions and the family ghosts she's run from all her life. But it isn't long before her childhood imaginary friend—an achingly familiar, spectral woman in the snow—comes to claim her at last. Years ago, Elsa's now-catatonic mother had warned her that the women of their line were doomed to repeat the narrative lives of their ancestors from Korean myth and legend. But beyond these ghosts, Elsa also faces a more earthly fate.

In a matter of weeks, Massachusetts has been overrun by an insidious rabies-like virus that is spread by saliva. But unlike rabies, the disease has a terrifyingly short incubation period of an hour or less. Those infected quickly lose their minds and are driven to bite and infect as many others as they can before they inevitably succumb. Hospitals are inundated with the sick and dying, and hysteria has taken hold. To try to limit its spread, the commonwealth is under quarantine and curfew. But society is breaking down and the government's emergency protocols are faltering.

But outside of a classic mystery novel, being surrounded by death doesn’t make you a charming amateur detective, it makes you a suspect and a social pariah. So when Mallory gets the opportunity to take refuge on a sentient space station, she thinks she has the solution. Surely the murders will stop if her only company is alien beings.

The day Louisiana teenager Rory Deveaux arrives in London marks a memorable occasion. For Rory, it’s the start of a new life at a London boarding school.

So So Narration
I would have liked this book overall more if the narration were a bit better. The narration didn't change much for different characters, and I felt like there just wasn't much emotion. Overall, I think it's a great story with a original idea for an apocalypse and what happens after, although I wish the science was explained more.

A literary page-turner!
There is so much to love about Sarah Blake’s Clean Air. Part eco-thriller, part supernatural mystery, part domestic novel, the book invites readers into a post-apocalyptic world that feels both richly imagined and entirely familiar.
One of the book’s greatest triumphs is its depictions of motherhood. Blake captures the complexities and contradictions of raising a young child—the mundanity of daily routines, the anxieties of releasing a child into a dangerous world, the humor and surprises and deep love that accompany childrearing. It is so refreshing to see motherhood portrayed in a way that isn’t belittling, sentimental, or unrealistic.
The book is packed with other delights as well—beautiful language and descriptions (it’s no surprise that Blake is also an accomplished poet), inventive forms (Izabel’s unsent letters to her daughter and the murderer are just fabulous), a diverse cast of characters, and some real surprises. The monster posters are pretty great too (you’ll just have to wait and see).
I can’t recommend this literary page-turner highly enough.
