“We Speak Through the Mountain is a gorgeous climate-focused novella that provides a frightening and realistic look at what our world might become as a backdrop to a satisfying speculative fiction tale. Mohamed asks not only what happens after the world ends, but what it means for the world to end — an apocalypse for who? This sharp, incisive novella confronts uncomfortable truths and shows the stark lines painted between who has access to survival post-collapse and who does not. This is climate fiction at its best, showing us the humanity at the heart of the crisis.” — A.C. Wise, Nebula and World Fantasy Award finalist and author of Wendy, Darling“At its heart, this is a story about eating from the Tree of Knowledge and being thrown out of paradise as a result. Readers of hopepunk that asks difficult questions will find plenty to think about in Mohamed’s follow-up to The Annual Migration of Clouds.” — Library Journal“Tavares grows with the heroine as her eyes open to the new environment, thoughtfully fusing with the character... not distancing herself from emotionally charged passages.” —Booklist
