In The End of Men, Christina Sweeney-Baird turns the unimaginable into the unforgettable.Christina is the author of THE END OF MEN, her debut novel, which is being published in 17 languages. Through these women and others, we see the uncountable ways the absence of men has changed society, from the personal-the loss of husbands and sons-to the political-the changes in the workforce, fertility, and the meaning of family. MacLean Catherine, a social historian determined to document the human stories behind the "male plague" intelligence analyst Dawn, tasked with helping the government forge a new society and Elizabeth, one of many scientists desperately working to develop a vaccine. What follows is the immersive account of the women who have been left to deal with the virus's consequences, told through first-person narratives.
The virus becomes a global pandemic-and a political one. By the time her warning is heeded, it is too late. Amanda MacLean reports this phenomenon, she is dismissed as hysterical. The year is 2025, and a mysterious virus has broken out in Scotland-a lethal illness that seems to affect only men. Set in a world where a virus stalks our male population, The End of Men is an electrifying and unforgettable debut from a remarkable new talent that asks: what would our world truly look like without men? " The End of Men is a fiercely intelligent page-turner, an eerily prescient novel, at once thoughtful and highly emotive." -Paula Hawkins, #1 internationally bestselling author of The Girl on the Train
