This wasn't the book I was expecting, this was far better than I thought it would be. I found myself dreaming about it, absorbed into the world of Year 20. I am pretty sure that if I had read this pre-pandemic my feelings may have been slightly different though!

Wow! Great book! Was not sure how this was going to go since COVID. Thought it might be too soon. Not a problem at all- looking forward to reading more from this author.

It opens with an eerie post-apocalyptic world after a pandemic. So eerie in fact, I had to put this book away for awhile because it felt a little “too soon” in the era of c*vid. But I picked the book back up recently, and found that this isn’t a thriller or scary book at all, but a deeply important story (stories, actually) about the human condition, and what truly matters at the end of everything.
I cried more than once in the final 1/3 of the book.
A couple poignant parts that linger with me
- the fate of the people on the Air Gradia jet
- the man who tells Clark the last phone call he ever made - before you couldn’t making calls anymore - was to his boss, instead of to his family
Oof.
