This was easy to get into and it's quite a brave book, especially for a debut novel.

Synopsis
Megan Hunter's honed and spare prose paints an imagined future as realistic as it is frightening. Though the country is falling apart around them and its people are forced to become refugees, this family’s world – of new life and new hope – sings with love.

In the midst of a mysterious environmental crisis, as London is submerged below flood waters, a woman gives birth to her first child. Days later, the family are forced to leave their home in search of safety. As they move from place to place, shelter to shelter, their journey traces both fear and wonder as the baby's small fists grasp at the things he sees, as he grows and stretches, thriving and content against all the odds.

I found it be very believable and chunks of it reminded me of the BBC series "Survivors" from the mid-seventies. Looting to find food and armed guards etc... and the narrator is bringing up her young baby and he grows as the book develops. Well worth a read but it won't be for everyone.
