![]() ![]() I was not enjoying this book in the very least. This book, at page 87, gave me a dull headache. The punctuation was unique and it was a stream of consciousness sort of thing which was jarring at times because it was jumpy and choppy. It was a bit off and took a hella lot to get used to. The writing style was the main reason for this. By page 87 I was *this* close to leaving it unread. I struggled with this book, I really struggled with it. I have wanted to read this book for a long, long time and I really want to watch the movie. But this book is different, it's a literary fiction more than your run-off-the-mill YA dystopian- now nothing wrong with that genre but I am personally a little over it. General Thoughts: This is a dystopian novel. But the war is everywhere, and Daisy and her cousins must lead each other into a world that is unknown in the scariest, most elemental way. Despite the war, it’s a kind of Eden, with no adults in charge and no rules, a place where Daisy’s uncanny bond with her cousins grows into something rare and extraordinary. The next day bombs go off as London is attacked and occupied by an unnamed enemy.Īs power fails, and systems fail, the farm becomes more isolated. Her aunt goes away on business soon after Daisy arrives. Plot Summary: “Every war has turning points and every person too.”įifteen-year-old Daisy is sent from Manhattan to England to visit her aunt and cousins she’s never met: three boys near her age, and their little sister. ![]()
