Description
A mutant virus has swept through half the world’s population overnight, and the known world has collapsed. In the new, lawless world, people believe that children’s livers provide immunity. In one apartment block, an unlikely group breaks out of quarantine in a stolen lorry and ventures into an achingly empty landscape that was once full of colour. Across the desolate reaches of Eurasia, they encounter fellow defectors and find family: a wandering travel agent, a mixed-race divorcee embracing her sacred desire and a deaf girl crossing the frozen continent barefoot. How do you move forward in a world turned upside down? This novel explores the human will to live and love until the very end, tracing the intimate landscapes of people who build liferafts from the small miracles of everyday life.
