Eiren Caffall’s All the Water in the World Offers a Haunting Vision of What Comes After

In All the Water in the World, Eiren Caffall imagines a future reshaped by climate collapse—one where glaciers have melted, coastlines have vanished, and survival hinges on memory as much as resilience. Set against a backdrop of drowned cities and shifting loyalties, the novel follows a small group determined to preserve what remains of human culture before it disappears completely.

Caffall’s lyrical prose and slow-building dread draw immediate comparisons to Emily St. John Mandel and Kim Stanley Robinson, yet her voice remains uniquely her own—intimate, clear-eyed, and quietly urgent.

Set for release in January 2025, All the Water in the World is a timely, beautifully written warning that doesn’t just ask what we’ll lose to climate change—but what we’ll choose to carry forward.
