Summary

What do you eat when the shops run out of food?

Zoe loves teaching science, she loves her garden, and most of all she loves her quiet, peaceful bungalow. Then at school, people start falling ill. The virus is airborne and highly infectious. It starts with flu symptoms, confusion, and sleepiness, which worsen until one day they just don't wake up. It decimates the population and leaves chaos in its wake. Now Zoe has to find a way to survive.

Luckily, when the pandemic strikes, she already has a greenhouse full of vegetable seedlings, but not everyone around is as prepared. Can she avoid the people hunting for food: the "knockers" who don't always just knock? And will her strategy of stay in, hide, and wait be enough?

One of the best books I've ever read!

gripping storyline, easy to listen to & we'll thought out plot I read a lot of books & rarely write a full review but in my opinion this book deserved it.
initially i struggled with the narators voice but quickly realise she very much suited the story. I'm very glad I persevered!

A young woman succeeding against long odds.

Not like other survival stories. More about surviving on your own without weapons. Caring for others when confronted with inequity. A good solid read.

Enjoyable

I thought this would be an autobiography style but was intrigued when it wasn’t, I felt like it had a hint of Hand maids tail to it also, would recommend :)

Very good but it just misses something.

It's a very good and well written book. The narrator wasn't the easiest voice to get into.

The story leaves a lot of questions unanswered and the lead character forgets about people who may suffer with the pandemic. Overall, great that it's an English story for once.

It is a very inspired listen with some wonderful characters and scenes. The writer takes you on a very interesting journey from normal school teacher from South Oxhey to a rescuer to a fully functioning survivalist.

great story

loved the truly English experience, perhaps because it's so neat and familiar. loved the way characters developed and changed their opinions and reactions.

Alternative to the genre

I enjoyed this as it's English suburban setting would be very realistic for a lot of people. Living in England, we don't have guns or access to wide open spaces, or even the opportunity to build a bug out remote cabin. If ever a shtf situation arises I think this book provides good advice, particularly in the immediate aftermath.

A Lovely Find.

A very well timed post apocalyptic story. Well written and narrated. A cautionary tale - a worst case scenario of a viral outbreak and subsequent collapse of British society.
I very much hope there will be more to follow.

How would you survive?

A scary take on what could happen if the world tilted but an amazing message too.
