Ragnarok
by A.S. Byatt
This is a nice little apocalyptic novel. Byatt's has a lovely way with language, using simple lists to describe scenes that make this quite hypnotic and sumptuous. "Sponges, anemones, worms, crayfish, snails of every colour, ruby, chalky, jet, butter-yellow, sea slugs magnificantly striped and mottled, supping up jelly from the fronds." Isn't that nice? Or "Vast surges of seawater overran the coasts, beaches, rock, harbour walls, delta, estuary, marsh." Beautiful. This was a real treat.
