review 1: I was excited by the idea of this book, a post apocolyptic London and one woman's struggle to survive in this strange new world. I was utterly disappointed. I am not sure what this book was trying to do. Was it an observation of the frailty of the human memory or just trying to be a 'clever' book? Whatever it was trying, for me it did not work. I am sad I wasted three hours reading it, at least it was not more.
review 2: I'm tempted to give this more than two stars, because it's brave and original and hard to put down, but there's too much to dislike about Julie Myerson's unrelentingly bleak vision of a world post apocalypse. The plot is confusing and disturbing; the characters unlikeable; the setting horrifyingly grim. I read this sitting in a sun lounger... more in Italy, which was probably not the best place to get into it. less
