Ooh - this book was so good. I went into it not knowing much about it and was delightfully surprised. It is a post-apocalyptic zombie novel - but a *literary* post-apocalyptic zombie novel. As such, it is a beautiful meditation on life and memory and the nature of being, but with some moments that are somewhat humorous or make you go “huh”. Highly recommended!

It's short and written as simple as possible. The author was meticulous with words used to tell the story. It touched on themes of motherhood, physical bonds, healing and, of course, survival so you can expect there'll be drama. I find some parts a bit funny—just ridiculous moments that portray how human we still can be during a zombie apocalypse. Overall, it's quite the contemplative read.
