A new to me Canadian author. Yay!

A well written dystopian novel that just didn't wow me like I thought it could. I'm not overly fond of futuristic stories but this one seemed plausible and not too science fictiony. Plus there was the promise of a child's mysterious footprints in the garden and food going missing. And there were bees.

I think the very thing that I thought would make the book more enjoyable for me was the very thing that made it less so - ordinary people living a hard-scrabble life after society collapses. No heroes. No darlings. Just the will to survive and somehow remain human.

I'll take this to our BookCrossing meeting tonight. If no one takes it home, it will be left on the shelf to await its next reader.
