The Endling
A feminist utopia crumbles with one impossible birth.
On an isolated mountaintop, a small feminist community is fracturing under the weight of ideological divides and dwindling numbers. Mila struggles to hold the women together, while deeper in the bush her aunt Frank — an ailing recluse — lives with only her dog, Chicken Midnight, for company. Nearby, an orchid endling approaches its own death, and the extinction of its entire species.
As Frank grows increasingly unwell and secretive about her condition, the community women begin mysteriously falling pregnant. When Mila gives birth to the only boy, their hardline separatist ideals face an impossible test.
Vividly expressed, wildly funny, and wholly original, The Endling examines the volatile intersection of community and politics, exploring what happens when the borders we construct between species, between sexes, between self and world prove more porous than we imagine.

March 25, 2026I love books about countercultures and this brought to mind some of the best including Hope Farm by Peggy Frew, Arcadia by Lauren Groff and Creation Lake by Rachel Kushner. But then Jobe shifts gears and the strangeness starts to permeate your pores. I loved how weird this got. Stunning prose, too, especially for a debut. Jobe writes with a confidence and clarity that sparkles on the page. Inspired by Amazon Acres, I went on a deep dive which was so interesting (no meat, no men, no machinery). When we talk about multiple hooks, this is what we mean.

June 27, 2026Bit of a book catch-up. Three novels that could all be classed as cli-fi if you threw a loose ring around them: politics meets environmental collapse meets social tensions. Two that have ambitious reach (too ambitious, IMHO, to be sustained right to the end) and one that’s beautifully paced and really delivers.
Jan Carson’s “Few and Far Between” counterfactual drama beaches off from a real moment in recent Irish history, a 1950s proposal to semi-drain Lough Neagh, an enormous fresh water lake, and populate the islands that would arise from it. In Carson’s novel, the project proceeded and the resulting archipelago became a somewhat utopian location, a safe space amongst the Troubles, where families formed from mixed marriages, gay couples, a transgender woman, and others who would be imperiled in mainstream society can live undisturbed.
The book centres on Robert-John and Marion Connolly, the children of a famous Irish anthropologist, who brought his young family to “the Ark” in the 1970s to study this unique community.
We travel back over the history of the small community but the book is set in 2017, when the community has depleted, algal bloom has overrun the Lough, and plans are in place to reflood it to “restore” the environment.
The Ark is full of mysteries and with the help of a young post-doc student who is visiting to research a book on the sibling’s father we explore them — the island that has become a mecca for suicides, the island that houses women from the mainland who have been overwhelmed by trauma and fallen into sleep that they don’t awake from, the island that swallows all the detritus and secrets that people leave there, the island where the maybe-dead hover until they recover or pass through.
The setting is extraordinary. The characters though don’t quite hold it up and the insertion of the researcher who uncovers and explains and documents everything for us becomes laboured. Reviewers describe it as funny — I found it terribly sad in parts, but flat in the end.
Australian writer Keely Jobe’s first novel “The Endling” likewise takes a massive swing with setting and plot, but peters out at the end. Another isolated community — this time a woman-only commune on a mountaintop in the Australian outback — is slowly failing in the 1990s, riven by ideological differences and dwindling numbers. On the other edge even of this isolated community live Frank and her dog Chicken Midnight (a gorgeously drawn relationship) — Frank’s health is failing and her cranky dependence on her niece Mila who lives in the main community is growing. Further even from Frank is a deep gully with its own subclimate, in which the sole remaining representative of a species of orchid sends its biological messages out into the world, patiently waiting for a response.
Tensions in the community are brought to their head when all the women bar Frank mysteriously fall pregnant. The book wavered for me at about the three-quarter point, and the magical realism ending didn’t do it for me. The vivid, bodily writing is a joy though and the presentation of the human body as an animal surrounded by other animals and plants in the outback environment — perceptions, desires, physicalities — is terrific.
John Lanchester is one of my discoveries of 2026. “The Wall” is the sparsest of these three books — in background detail and in style. In a slightly future Britain, post “the Change”, an enormous wall barriers the mainland from the sea. Young citizens are required to spend two-year stints as Defenders on the wall, watching for and dealing to incursions by the Others — climate refugees. Should a group of Others manage to penetrate the defences, the punishment is that an equal-sized group of Defenders will be put to sea, cast out to become Others themselves.
The Wall is about the anger younger generations feel towards their elders who fucked the world up and left them to carry the can.
It’s about cold, fear, boredom, repetition, hierarchy, physical endurance and what a human can adjust to.
And it’s about what happens when the worst happens (which is where spoilers live). The book could not be more different than Lanchester’s revenge thriller “Look What You Made Me Do” which came out this year, but it’s equally gripping.

In some ways this book links directly back to the feminist utopias of the 1980s, in others it's entirely it's own book.
On a mountainside an orchid seeks a mate; on a mountainside a commune of separatists are aging, squabbling, and acknowledging that they are the last of a once hopeful project. The orchid impregnates the women (it's all a bit vague) eight of whom produce daughters and one a son. The rising tensions around the weird children, and specifically the boy child, tear the group apart.
Where I think the book fails is right at the end. The children disappear (in to the bush maybe) and a fire drives the women off the mountain. The orchid finds its mate. All a bit too pat.
Still highly recommended tho.

I loved everything about this book. The vivid descriptions had me completely immersed in the wilderness of the mountain and the experiences of the women living there. I loved the questions it made me ponder and the wonderful weirdness of it all. And Chicken Midnight. How I loved Chicken Midnight. This is a book I will read time and again.

scratching ‘join a feminist bush cult’ off my list of future plans, but definitely adding ‘get a dog’.

Witty and wacky and seductively sordid. Felt like a cross between Big Swiss and The Wall. Would be an insane movie. Just wish a few more things had been wrapped up or exposed at the end.

I wanted to like this. Beautiful prose and interesting premise. Last third I forced myself to finish.
Review of advance copy received from Publisher
This is a story that has left me with conflicting feelings….
On the one hand, as I started off the reading journey, I found myself really enjoying the storyline. Connecting with the characters, intrigued to see more of how their lives would pan out, and basking in the beauty of the mountain.
Keely’s descriptions were both skilful and enlightening, creating a community made up of so many varied personalities and backgrounds, all with a common goal in mind, eking out not only a living but a lifestyle.
Then it all changed for me…..
The writing was still creative, the setting was still beautifully portrayed, however somewhere as the storyline progressed, I ended up being very confused. It all started to become a haze, I was unclear of what exactly was taking place, things were not explained at all, and I truly could not understand what was actually going on.
Up until just before all the community women fall pregnant, I was enjoying the book and found it to be very entertaining. From that point on, my enjoyment waned, the story had a resemblance of a drug-fuelled haze of confusion and inuendo, and so much was left unexplained, and for me, unfinished.
As I always say though, what I might find as little wanting could be someone else’s five-star read. So read the synopsis and all the reviews, and maybe you’ll find yourself wanting to visit Frankie, Mila and the others on the mountaintop.

Came for the feminist commune, stayed for Chicken <3
Not really what I expected it to be, but was surprisingly moved by Frank and her dog, especially seeing Frank dealing with her failing body in the middle of the bush. The descriptions of the setting were really beautifully done, as was her transformation and how it impacted her relationship with the world around her. It was a really compelling look at grief, ageing, and relationships between women in different stages of their lives.
After reading Arcadia I was interested by the concept of a utopia in decline, but I didn't love the direction it went with the ~communing with nature ~ and the miracle pregnancies. While Mila's storyline did explore some interesting concepts around female bodily autonomy - especially in relation to motherhood - I just wasn't super interested in the commune dynamics or the weird children.
I liked that it did something different, just not sure it was fully up my alley. Would be interested to read more from the author in future though which how much I loved the Frank storyline.

Review of advance copy
Oh, this was good. Fascinating concept executed wonderfully. Language and setting was so rich, characters well drawn and some laugh-out-loud moments that were way more 'wait...WTF?!' than 'ha ha ha ha ha' but still 100% valid and 100% enjoyable. I read this as part of a sci-fi/fantasy book club but may have picked it up independently for the cover alone.
One of those books that makes you think a little deeper than just the storyline - was lucky enough to attend a session with the author and the layers of the concepts (the 90s feminism movement) and the inspiration (OMG this place is real!?) were absolutely fascinating and have sent me off down another reading/research rabbit hole all together.
Absolutely fell in love with Frankie and Chicken Midnight and their crazy narrative in particular, for who hasn't had a fantasy of a bolt-hole in the bush with a just a loyal dog and a gorgeous view when life gets a little too eye-twitchy?
I am grateful that the only orchids in our house are the fake ones from IKEA, that I know where all of my body parts are and that my children...were not like those children. Great read. Happily adding it to the 'bonkers but brilliant' list that's emerging from my 2026 reading, which is growing in length.

Let’s all take a moment to admire the visually stunning cover design of The Endling by Keely Jobe. With its incredible black orchid, you get a hint about the nature focus. In fact the first chapter is written from the orchid’s view. It's almost at the end of its life and it knows that the end of its species is near. But that is not all The Endling is about.
It's set on an isolated mountain where a feminist community has lived for years attracting women who want to stay well away from the wider community and men in particular. After a heyday where the numbers were large the group has dwindled. The two key characters are Mila and her aunt Frank. Frank took herself off higher up the mountain years ago and now lives as a recluse with her dog Chicken Midnight. She goes out into the bush one day and discovers a single orchid.
Frank’s health gets worse and she avoids coming down the mountain for supplies. Meanwhile in the camp the women mysteriously become pregnant. All are girls except one – Mila has given birth to a boy. The women become fractured. The end is near for the orchid, the community and Frank.
The Endling starts off one way and takes a sharp turn into something very weird. Immaculate conception, the bush nurturing the women in oddly hallucinatory ways, the strangeness of the babies (seriously!). This book will go places you will never be able to guess.
I love a book with chapters voiced by animals or the natural world. I had such high hopes starting with the orchid. Unfortunately, I felt like there wasn’t enough of this voice for me. The orchid only appears fleetingly and I thought it could have played a stronger role in the story.
So is The Endling climate, dystopian or feminist fiction? Is it about the end of a species or its salvation? It felt like a beautiful tragedy that I didn’t wholly understand. But the writing was wonderful. There was a feverish dreamy quality to it at times. I just wished I had felt more satisfied with the actual plot. Still an author to watch.

Happy pride month! Disaster Lesbians!
I borrowed this book from my library without knowing anything about it. I was hooked immediately. The descriptions of living in the bush made my skin crawl, in a good way. The writing expertly walks the line between sincere and cerebral. The characters are just ordinary people living in extra ordinary circumstances. I enjoyed thinking about the flaws in second wave feminism, and the disconnect between feminist theory and feminist practice.
Reading Frank's perspective made me realise how much I fear aging. And this book didn't help!!! The only spoiler I'll write here is that Chicken Midnight does not die. Thank god Chickie is still OK at the end of the book.
I hope Keely Jobe writes more books.

3.5 rounded up - This was a weird, slightly terrifying and beautifully written book - at once both a beautifully tragic story, and also a fever-dream of a book. I fell in love with the writing style, it's got this liveliness to it, you can absolutely picture the bush settings, the mountain-side community, the heat and humidity. The characters too were intreiguing, I especially loved Frank and Chicken Midnight, but I left wanting more from their arcs. I had a good time reading this, even if I felt that some elements didn't quite work for me.

The Endling by Keely Jobe is a debut that is both tender and feral. I was initially caught off guard by the visceral opening "she has an odd impulse to lick the flower’s swollen lip," but as the story unfolded, the orchid’s role became clear. It’s an evocative euphemism for sexuality, fertility, and spiritual endurance that perfectly captures this "feminist utopia" on the mountain.
If you enjoyed the ecological themes of The Rewilding by Donna Cameron, you’ll find a familiar love for the land here, but with a much more provocative, literary edge.

Review of advance copy
Was grabbed by the blurb and premise of the book. A feminist clan, the ideologies and challenging society views as a whole. Very left of field from the fantasy I usually read. And then they all fall pregnant! I read 2/3 of the book and was absolutely enthralled by their way of living and the author’s descriptive writing, hence the two stars. I’m genuinely so disappointed. So many questions unanswered and just a horrible ending altogether. Is there a platform where people take an authors idea and write an alternative ending? Or is that just wattpad?

The Endling began as an intriguing and atmospheric read with vivid writing and a unique setting that immediately drew me in. I enjoyed getting to know the diverse community on the mountaintop, and the rich descriptions made the world feel immersive and alive. For much of the first half, I was invested in the characters and curious to see how their stories would unfold. However, as the plot progressed, I found myself increasingly confused by the direction of the story, with several events feeling unclear and not fully explained. While the beautiful prose and strong sense of place remained consistent, the latter half lost some of the focus that had initially captivated me. It was an imaginative and thought-provoking novel with plenty to appreciate, even if the ending left me with more questions than answers.

(I have no idea why this is marked as pre-release. Rating is rounded up.)
I was trying to think of a plant related euphemism. Techically, 'reaping what you sow' counts. These guys reaped like, a lot. They reaped so much shit. They reaped so much but not really because everyone was really bad at farming. And making rice and lentils taste nice (it's not difficult). It's all very much over before it begun. No one here ever stood a chance and it's all completely self inflicted, and deserved imo.

The Endling is set on an isolated mountain where a feminist community has lived for years attracting women who want to stay well away from the wider community (men in particular).
This novel is a wild ride and at times a fever dream. But by the end there's still so much I don't fully understand. And I would've loved to get this more then I did.

Interesting. The backdrop of a failing feminist community in the bush was well described and structured. Then the babies arrived and the story got a bit weird. I like weird. But this sometimes felt a bit forced (deliberately weird). And a bit slow. Had fantastic sections (I love the "weird" concept and the ending) but also some tedious sections.
Review of advance copy
What a wild ride. I hadn’t read any reviews or the blurb before reading so had no idea what the expect. Plot twist after plot twist and then some very unanswered questions. Some interesting characters and some deep questions.
Review of advance copy
This book is so beautifully written, and I was deeply immersed in the ups and downs of people’s experiences of a feminist bush utopia. The story and the messaging got a little lost in heavily descriptive prose but it got book club chatting non- stop for 3 hours!
Review of advance copy
Goes nowhere but the writing and description are excellent. Very odd and unique subject matter. I read to the end with no problem for a book that I knew wasn’t going to give a lot of closure to the stories it opened.
