The Death of Grass

The Death of Grass | John Christopher

3 posts | 7 read | 8 to read

At first the virus wiping out grass and crops is of little concern to John Custance. It has decimated Asia, causing mass starvation and riots, but Europe is safe and a counter-virus is expected any day. Except, it turns out, the governments have been lying to their people. When the deadly disease hits Britain they are left alone, and society starts to descend into barbarism. As John and his family try to make it across country to the safety of his brother's farm in a hidden valley, their humanity is tested to its very limits. Includes an introduction by Robert Macfarlane.

Another book done for the Tome Infinity and Beyond readathon. It‘s also another reread. I really like this book. It really attacks the idea of a cozy catastrophe that you normally see with some British dystopian authors, like Wyndham.
