Strange. I loved reading this at the time- a post-apocalyptic story with a human touch- but two weeks after finishing and back home to review it, it hasn't stayed with me. The Georgian flu kills off most of Earth's population very quickly, leaving a few survivors, and the book wanders back and forth in time, so that there are those that were there when it happened and remember how the world was, and those who have been born since, and whose life has always been about surviving and finding stuff

An interesting and thought provoking concept. I especially enjoyed the unfolding events as a result of a pandemic, a topic I’ve given much thought to recently ; ) - and the drawing together of people who’s lives lightly touched before the fall of society. I hear there is a TV program, I will probably try to view someday, but for now, I’m content with book.
