Wie Ich finde ein sehr schönes Buch über die Hilfsbereitschaft der Menschen. Wegen des Klappentextes habe ich etwas komplett anderes erwartet, wurde dahingehend aber nicht enttäuscht. Denn es hat mich auf seine Weise berührt und mitgenommen. Sehr lesenswert.

Harmless "societal collapse" story. Nice backdrop of a Cornish village, easy read but a bit bland. Reminded me of Tobias Hill's The Cryptographer, which I preferred.

I would love to have an ending of the book without the last chapter. I liked that the author contextualized what happend in the book to the real world in the end.
