In modern Wales, a nuclear disaster brings about the End—a young mother and son are among the only survivors. Isolated in the countryside, they continue living in their house without electricity or running water, taking supplies from other homes as needs arise, learning to self-sustain. Through the eyes of a curious child and a hardened adult, they chronicle their days in the Blue Book of Nebo, a found notebook. As they struggle to live with the effects of the disaster, they also work to learn and preserve the Welsh language among only animal omens. This short, searing tale has arrived in English at an eerily relevant time.
