To the Warm Horizon by Jin-Young Choi

Written in a plain, yet beautiful, way. Desperately bleak but easy to devour.
My favourite passages were from the beginning, as the characters came to terms with their new apocalyptic surroundings and reflected on the mundanity they took for granted in their previous lives:
“If nothing happened, nothing would’ve happened.
We would’ve continued to not own the house we lived in. We would’ve started paying off another loan as soon as we were done with the first. We would’ve occasionally pushed death aside with the words, I’m so exhausted I could die. We would’ve whittled each of our own lives away, silently and ever so calmly.”
