Title: The Thinning
Author: Inga Simpson
In The Thinning, bestselling author Inga Simpson crafts a powerful eco-thriller that explores humanity’s fragile bond with nature amid environmental crisis. Set in a near-future Australia, the story follows Fin, a young woman raised in an off-the-grid community led by her mother, a former astronomy expert. With the world facing mass extinctions and widespread loss of biodiversity, survival depends on constant vigilance. When a stranger—a member of the distrusted "Incompletes"—arrives in their remote camp, Fin is drawn into a high-stakes race to reach a monumental solar eclipse.
As they traverse dangerous terrain, Fin and her unlikely ally must overcome mutual distrust to play their part in a daring plan to restore hope to the natural world. Richly atmospheric and deeply urgent, The Thinning is a riveting look at resilience, adaptation, and the strength of the human spirit in the face of environmental collapse.
