Why read it?

1 author picked Tilt as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

This short novel moves seamlessly between the global (a massive earthquake in Portland) and the quintessentially personal (a pregnant woman trying to survive it.) It is beautifully written, frightening, inspiring, infuriating, and deeply moving. I am not generally drawn to stories where people talk to their fetuses, but this book grabbed me from the start. I (tentatively with with a warning) recommended it to a friend who has not had or wanted babies, and she declared it a "perfect novel" in its intensity, scale, and structure.
