A review by poirotketchup
The Wake by Paul Kingsnorth

4.0

I loved it. The language is strange enough to bring me into a different world - but familiar enough to stay readable. After the first 20 pages or so, I got into the right rhythm. The novel gave an immediate, post-apocalyptic flavor to the story, but without making it seem artificially contemporary. I could feel the 1,000 years since the invasion, but also feel like I was there.
