Summary
from
Goodreads:
The entire
village knows
Neima’s grandfather is a madman.
For years the
old man has prophesied that a great flood is coming, a
flood disastrous
enough to blot out the entire earth. He’s even built an enormous ark
that he
claims will
allow his family to survive the deluge. But no one believes the
ravings of a
lunatic…
…until the rain
starts.
And doesn’t stop.
Soon
sixteen-year-old Neima finds her entire world transformed, her life and those
of the people
she loves in peril.
Trapped on the
ark with her grandfather Noah, the rest of her family,
and a noisy, filthy, and hungry assortment of wild animals, will Neima find a
way to
survive?
With lions,
tigers, and
bears oh my, elephants and flamingos too, along with rivalries and
betrayals, a
mysterious stowaway, and perhaps even an unexpected romance, Forty Days is not
your grandfather’s
Noah’s Ark
story.
Forty Days is approximately 45000 words, the length
of
a shorter novel,
and is the first installment in a two-part epic story. It does
contain a cliffhanger
ending.
Readers
looking for a traditional, religiously
oriented version
of the Noah’s Ark story should be warned that
Forty Days may
not appeal to
them. The novel will,
however, appeal
to lovers of apocalyptic fiction, historical fiction, and
romance, as well
as anyone who’s ever dreamed of having a baby elephant as a
pet.
