"A gorgeously written novel that tackles not just the climate condition, but the human one. Narrated by Nonie, a young member of a family in the near future, All the Water in the World tells the story of their escape from their dwelling, which just happens to be the top of the Museum of Natural History (called Amen) until after a fierce super storm makes it inhabitable, forcing them to flee to what they desperately hope is going to be safety. This is one brilliant and engrossing book—and I’ll say my heartfelt 'Amen' to that."
—Caroline Leavitt, New York Times bestselling author of Pictures of You and Days of Wonder
"Along with its gorgeous language, its deeply human characters, its stay up all night 'cause you have to know what happens storytelling, All the Water in the World does the goddamn impossible. It makes the climate crisis real. Devastatingly, terrifyingly, gloriously real. Eiren Caffall is a masterfulful storyteller."
—Megan Stielstra, author of The Wrong Way to Save Your Life
"I am gripped by Eiren Caffall's river-going adventure tale. It moves through darkness like the beam of a flashlight: urgent, questing, incandescent."
—Josephine Ferorelli, co-author of The Conceivable Future
"When the world collapses, will our love for each other? Eiren Caffall answers the hard questions in this luminous novel. All the Water in the World is a masterful story of a family fighting to not be drowned by a changing world. Each sentence is a treasure. Read this and be changed."

"All the Water in the World has everything: stunning prose, wonderful characters, powerful themes, and a plot that moves like a freight train... Nonie, the novel's narrator and heart, spins a tale that will make you think, bring you to tears, keep you on the edge of your seat, and leave you buzzing. Read this book immediately."
—Abby Geni, author of The Lightkeepers and The Body Farm
"With its beautiful sentences and a propulsive plot, All the Water in the World, asks us how we continue to love both a world in environmental crisis and each other through that crisis. This is an essential novel for our times. Nonie, the young, neuro-divergent, main character will whisper in my ears for a very long time and that is the most powerful work a book can do."
—Nayomi Munaweera- award-winning author of Island of a Thousand Mirrors and What Lies Between Us
"Eiren Caffall’s exquisite novel of climate disaster and human tenderness has you trembling, turning pages faster and faster, wanting more, even as you try to slow down and savor writing so precisely lovely it alone breaks your heart."
