I listened to this on audio via @libro.fm's ALC programme. It was a decent story, with great narration, and though I was often intrigued while listening, I wasn't rushing to get back to it and I wasn't really invested in knowing what happened to the characters. Overall,  good writing from Rumaan Alam and I liked the way he explores a mysterious national event and its aftermath, especially when strangers are forced to band together.
