The Ruiners

di Ellena Savage (Autore)

Sceptre, 2026

'With a scathing wit and genuine narrative flair, Ellena Savage has written a contemporary parable about gentrification, class, climate change and the need for political action' - Vincenzo Latronico, author of Perfection 'A darkly comic, ridiculously smart novel about desire, desperation, hope, disappointment, politics and trying to do the right thing' - Madeleine Gray, author of Green Dot 'A riot - a book full of wild energy and uncompromising wit, with a huge heart'** - Octavia Bright, author of This Ragged Grace 'Thrilling . . . I stayed up late reading' - Lauren Oyler, author of No Judgement Pip's life is going nowhere. She's a university drop-out stuck in a dead-end job at a Melbourne lobster shack. But when her long-absent father dies, she's left an orphan and fifty-thousand dollars richer. She doesn't know what to do with her windfall until she meets Sasha, a dashing young scholar of Balkan literature. Together, they hatch a mad plan: buy a decrepit house on a distressed Greek island where Sasha will write and Pip will sort out what to do with her life. However, instead of bohemian idyll, the couple find themselves ensnared in an environmental struggle that brings the mistakes of the past into sharp relief. This is a literary page-turner about love, lust, legacy and the last days of civilisation as we know it. Instead of hiding from the world we've inherited, The Ruiners asks how we can create a better one. 'Ellena Savage is savagely smart and talented' - Rachel Kushner, author of The Mars Room
