About this listen

Britain is awash, the sea creeps into the land, brambles and forest swamp derelict towns. Food production has moved overseas and people are forced to move to the cities for work. The countryside is empty. A chorus, the herd voice of feral cows, wander this newly wild land watching over changing times, speaking with love and exasperation.

Jesse and his puppy Mister Maliks roam the woods until his family are forced to leave for London. Lee runs from the terrible restrictions of the White Town where he grew up. Isolde leaves London on foot, walking the abandoned A12 in search of the truth about her mother.

I really enjoyed this, it starts slowly but after a while becomes gripping. it is unashamedly poetic and wordy, but beautifully written. I feel like a lot of new speculative fiction will be in a similar vein, as we now know from living through a pandemic and entering the climate crisis that disasters are cumulative rather than sudden and dramatic and that ordinary people have to keep living their lives. At times it is chilling to think how believable this vision of our future could be.

Gentle and poetic story from a dystopian future

The reader seemed a bit comatose, to the extent that she sometimes didn’t notice what she was reading, so she misread it even though the language and sentence structures were repetitive and mundane. I can’t really blame her because this story is unbearably dull. I felt as though the writer was telling me all her dreams in great detail, and in no particular order - except that makes it sound quite audacious and interesting, which it wasn’t. I was attracted by the subject and perhaps the writer was more interested in the subject than the language or the story.

Dull story unimaginatively written and snoozily narrated
