To the Lake
To the Lake | Yana Vagner
4 posts | 3 read | 18 to read
When a virulent flu epidemic sweeps through Moscow killing hundreds of thousands of inhabitants, Anya and her husband Sergey decide to flee to a lake in the far north of Russia where they hope to sit out the epidemic. But as the wave of infection expands from the capital, they encounter obstacles, hazards, and aggression, with near escapes from death as they try to navigate their way through a harsh Russian winter, with diminishing supplies of petrol and food. And their troubles multiply as Sergey agrees to takes on unwelcome guests and Anna struggles with her own feelings of hostility and jealousy.

Even though this is a sequel, and I haven't read book 1 (it could say somewhere on the book that there is a book 1), it still works. Perhaps it would be easier to keep track of the characters if you've read the first book, I don't know. This is a post-plague, slow kind of story about survival in the North of Russia, where not only the virus that has wiped out most of the country's population can kill you.

I started reading this French translation of a Russian book on my way back from Brussels. 170 pages in, and I'm liking it. A pandemic of some sort has struck Russia, killing basically everyone, and a group of survivors manage to get to a remote lake where they find some shelter, but sorely lack food. In the middle of winter. Then some more survivors show up...
