Set in 2056, After The Clearances is a gripping cli-fi novel that explores the impacts of climate change through a story of loyalty and revenge. The Seeders, a self-sufficient community, flee to a remote Welsh island to escape the government's repressive Clearances, and cultivate a new way of living. But 13-year-old Seeder, Glesni, suspects her family is hiding something. When Sandy, a vengeful mainlander, washes ashore, Glesni is drawn to search for a truth that threatens to put those she loves at risk and maybe even jeopardize the whole community. Meanwhile, on the mainland, fugitive Winter finds an unlikely friendship with a wild woman living off the land. How are their fates connected?

'After the Clearances follows a community of remote islanders caught up in the relentless consequences of climate change and harsh authoritarian repression. This is a bold novel brimming with ideas. Prepare to be provoked.' Martine Bailey, The Almanack‘After the Clearances imagines a future Wales that is newly strange, yet underpinned by the Wales of today and its history. This novel is a deeply-felt exploration of how we might live in a world of rising seas, increasing pandemics and civil war, seeding ideas and with them hope that is never simplistic or easy. A compelling story of language, community and renewal - a powerful tale of tomorrow for our own time.’ Kathrine Stansfield‘A thought-provoking and eminently readable novel, After the Clearances shines a light on how current behavior may lead to further environmental degradation and human atrocity while examining the role of trust—and the lack thereof—in a functioning society.’ Kate Woodworth, Little Great Island‘As a stand-alone novel, or a follow-up for lovers of 'Riverflow', Alison Layland's latest work combines a storyteller's sensitivity with an activist's keen awareness. She challenges and entertains her readers with thoughtfulness, honesty and hope.’ Elaine Walker
