This is a tale of survival, non romantic love, devotion both to an idea and to a religion. The story is set after mankind has finally managed to drop the bomb and very nearly destroy itself. The brief period portrayed prior to the End is too much like the world we now see around us. The crisis quickly accelerates into world distruction. M.K. Wren does an amazing job of detailing the various stages of post nucular life over several decades. For those of us born in the shadow of The Bomb it is the stuff of nightmares. The two female characters are engaging and you will love them. If you love books you should read this novel. I recommend it to anyone who enjoys reading about humanity surviving a global disaster. It will give you hope.
