![]() ![]() Here i will say like many who've either read the book or seen reviews, this is comparable to both the village and never let me go in its theme of the outside world being ambiguous. They also enforce the rules of their community and unamed religion. They typically bring back some matetials, animals occaisionally, and even other families from the wastelands. No one leaves the island to the wasteland except for the "wanderers", who are just the descendants of the original 10 ancestors. The story goes that war, disease, an enternal fire burns in the wasteland or what is supposedly left of civilization. Generations later the community has grown and strongly adheres to the rules laid out by the ancestors and their history. Even before building their own homes, they build a church and have their own bible that they just call "our book". So to start, the story is set on an island where a community of 10 families, the adult men or "ancestors" as they're called, create this community. Glad she wrote it even if it is disgusting, because it gives you both first and third person povs of grooming, cultists, and isolation. ![]() The author is a psychiatric nurse practitioner with experience working with traumatized children. I get it though for any who read this book, it( spoilers) contains both direct and indirect scenes of child molestation. So I haven't see hardly any posts about this book and mainly reviews on goodreads. ![]()
