Sep 5, 2019
Particularly strong on characterisation and the impact of the disaster on the protagonist: initially a decent upper-middle-class chap, John Custance finds the survival of his family requires him to condone (and even commit) acts of betrayal, murder, and maybe even worse things. Powerful ideas, and Christopher's no-nonsense style lets them into the reader's mind where they linger uncomfortably. A fine book that deserves to be better known.
