“Peter Rock is one of my favorite writers and I loved reading Makeshift, a gorgeously written, terrifying, and tender foray into the heart of what it means to be in relationship to one another, and to our world which is not over, which is still home.” —Karen Russell
Makeshift is a one-of-a-kind tale set on a small rock-bound island somewhere in the coastal pacific northwest. The island’s inhabitants are three sisters—Ari, Heiko, and CeeCee—whose parents led them to this island sanctuary from the “before world.”
Left alone after a marauding band of foreigners has slaughtered all the adults and burnt their homes, the sisters learn to fend for themselves. They fish and forage in the shallow waters of their protected cove, salvage useful treasures from the rusting hulks of robotic ships that run aground on its offshore reefs, and entertain themselves with half remembered songs and tales from the time before.
Their world, the world of Makeshift, is at once idyllic and haunted, an untouched wild refuge on the fringes of a burnt-out war-torn world. A world that has left them, “Feeling somewhere between lost and finding our way.”
Makeshift is an uncompromising act of good faith, a testament to devotion and allegiance rendered with the haunting grace of Rock’s precision prose.
