Book Description: A rogue virus that kills pregnant women has been set loose, and the survival of the human race is at stake. Jessie Lamb is an ordinary sixteen-year-old girl, but as her world collapses, her idealism and courage drive her toward the ultimate act of heroism.
Editorial Review: “The novel does not set up an elaborate apocalypse, but astringently strips away the smears hiding the apocalypses we really face. Like Jessie’s, it is a small, calm voice of reason in a nonsensical world.” (The Independent ) “Jane Rogers has captured Jessie’s voice brilliantly, alternating a teenager’s solipsism with a growing awareness of the wider world. Jessie’s self-conviction is both admirable and infuriating, and the reader is torn between her clear, unequivocal conclusions and the intricate, heartfelt compromises of her parents.” (Times Literary Supplement (London) ) “A powerful dystopian novel…Long-listed for the Booker Prize, Rogers’ mesmerizing tale is frighteningly timely and bound to spark rich book-club discussions.” (Booklist )
