An artful and timely novel, gathering up the readerin a tightening vortex of unfounded conspiracy andhuman frailty. Charming, quirky and heart-warming,So Easily Swept Away reminds us there is beauty inour need to be connected.Jarvi just wants to tuck away in seclusion, to ride out what’s left of hisdwindling, middle-management career. Scotty just wants to remain inanonymity, to imagine a useful purpose for himself in the conspiracytheory world in which he dwells. Both struggle to make sense of the socialisolation into which they each have been cast, and both feel lost amongthe wider, menacing anxieties of climate change, disruptive technology,and public distrust.Set within the spectre of a rare hurricane hurdling through inland NewEngland, ravaging their small town of Parsonage and the tenuous holdit has to modernity, each must confront their own personal loss whenhiding inside oneself is no longer an option. To step outside of the damagewithin, they each may have to take on the damage occurring all around.Touching carefully on the ease at which we can be lonely even whensurrounded by community, So Easily Swept Away takes a less conventionallook at the crush of modern life, what it means to be left behind and still'be,' and what it can mean to earn one’s way back to belonging.
