Brian Eno / Dieter Moebius / Hans-Joachim Roedelius - After The Heat

Children think we make them, but we don't ... They come into the world and make us. They make us by breaking us first • The world is mostly water when Pearl is born. The floods have left America a cluster of small islands with roving trade ships and raiders • Pearl knows little of her father Jacob and elder sister Row, who left her mother Myra when she was pregnant with her. Between them they make do, with Myra fishing and trading to make ends meet, travelling from island to island on Bird, the boat Myra's grandfather made before he died • Whilst their life is a tranquil one, Myra still aches for the daughter she once lost. When a chance encounter reveals that Row might still be alive, Myra packs up six-year-old Pearl and together they begin a dangerous voyage to The Valley, where rumours of violence and breeding ships run rampant
