'A swift, exhilarating punch to the gut' Lydia Kiesling 'I couldn't put it down' Helen Phillips Annie is nine months pregnant. She’s shopping for a crib at IKEA. That’s when the massive earthquake hits. There’s nothing to do but walk. Annie is 37 weeks pregnant, standing in IKEA, finally about to take home the crib she should have bought months ago. That’s when it happens – the long-anticipated Cascadia Earthquake, dismantling Portland and the entire Pacific Northwest in a matter of minutes. Propulsive, disruptive, funny, terrifying, Tilt is a novel about how the foundations of our lives are built and shaken. About a woman trying to walk back to the husband she’s long been pushing away. About put-off dreams and inevitability and what makes us keep moving forward. 'The most embodied twenty-four hours of narrative I can remember reading. Through the eyes of the prickly, funny, and very pregnant narrator, we viscerally experience the surreal, unbearable, comic, and beautiful ways that humans behave in a crisis. The Road meets Nightbitch meets What to Expect When You’re Expecting. I loved this novel' LYDIA KIESLING, author of The Golden State and Mobility 'An epic natural disaster adventure story starring a pregnant woman on a mission … This riveting book made me laugh, cry, and think. I couldn’t put it down' HELEN PHILLIPS, author of Hum and The Need
