After a catastrophic event leaves the world without electricity, a mother and her teenage son survive in rural Wales, each keeping a journal — hers in the present, his looking back — that together reveal what happened and what they've kept from each other. Ros's Carnegie Medal-winning novel, originally written in Welsh, is a quiet, devastating post-apocalyptic story about survival, secrets and language itself.
