Megan wants to leave her home in Canada, where she is responsible for taking care of her many siblings and her parents. She‘s young and London is calling.
This books follows her in her new life, as well as her brother and father. Nothing much happens but it all feels very true and Mary Lawson is a gifted writer.

This book and the first one are a reading highlight of the year. Glad I listened to the audiobook to hear the Anishnaabe language and names spoken.

I loved the first book of this series and this was also excellent. You should definitely read Moon of the Crusted Snow first. Both take place in Canada in a post apocalyptic world. It is more of a thriller than anything else and has a wonderful cast of characters. 4.5⭐️

Tamra I wonder if he‘ll write a third? 2mo
Julsmarshall @Tamra I hope so! 2mo

The end of this book absolutely gutted me! I loved the first book, and this is almost as good. The first 100 pages are slow, but the last 200 are not. I hope he writes a third! (2)
⭐️: 4/5

Amazing! This follow up to the thoughtful dystopian novel Moon of the Crusted Snow was fantastic, beautiful writing, tight pacing, and the setting in an indigenous community after the fall of the world is brilliant and compelling. If you haven‘t checked out these short (under 200 pages!) novels from Waubgeshig Rice, you are truly missing out. #BookspinBingo

Tamra I agree, great writing! 2mo

Enjoyable listen as an epilogue to the story begun in Moon of the Crusted Snow. This duology is not an action packed zombie type apocalyptic thriller, instead it is a description of a people reconnecting with the roots of their culture, one other, and nature “after the world goes dark.” I love how the collapse of civilization is largely a mystery and what few details emerge are fuzzy, but uncomfortably ordinary & and thus rather realistic.

Tamra I read the inspiration for the story comes from a true event, which was a wide spread power outage impacting the states and provinces. 😅 3mo
Tamra I had to laugh though, how on earth were they drinking lake and river water without getting sick?! 😜 That‘s no no #1. (edited) 3mo
