About this listen

What do you eat when the shops run out of food?

Zoe loves teaching science, she loves her garden, and most of all she loves her quiet, peaceful bungalow. Then at school, people start falling ill. The virus is airborne and highly infectious. It starts with flu symptoms, confusion, and sleepiness, which worsen until one day they just don't wake up. It decimates the population and leaves chaos in its wake. Now Zoe has to find a way to survive.

Luckily, when the pandemic strikes, she already has a greenhouse full of vegetable seedlings, but not everyone around is as prepared. Can she avoid the people hunting for food: the "knockers" who don't always just knock? And will her strategy of stay in, hide, and wait be enough?

gripping storyline, easy to listen to & we'll thought out plot I read a lot of books & rarely write a full review but in my opinion this book deserved it.
initially i struggled with the narators voice but quickly realise she very much suited the story. I'm very glad I persevered!

One of the best books I've ever read!

I thought this would be an autobiography style but was intrigued when it wasn’t, I felt like it had a hint of Hand maids tail to it also, would recommend :)

Enjoyable

I have over 400 books on Audible and this is my favourite. This book is so well written, great story and it got me hooked straight away. The narrator done an amazing job, she sounds like a science teacher. Please please do write book 2.

Amazing, entertaining and realistic

I enjoyed this as it's English suburban setting would be very realistic for a lot of people. Living in England, we don't have guns or access to wide open spaces, or even the opportunity to build a bug out remote cabin. If ever a shtf situation arises I think this book provides good advice, particularly in the immediate aftermath.

Alternative to the genre

I loved every minute of this book. It built up very cleverly as events departed steadily from the "normal society" we all recognise but never lost credibility. Zoe made for a strong main character and both she and the events depicted were extremely relatable. Highly recommended and an author to watch out for!

Really excellent story

Not like other survival stories. More about surviving on your own without weapons. Caring for others when confronted with inequity. A good solid read.

A young woman succeeding against long odds.

I have listened to this several times. Relatable characters and compelling story. Absolutely loved it! I really hoped there were more books in the series!!!

Charming and compelling

This was a believable future after a pandemic. Nothing is overly exaggerated, the narrator behaves logically and sensibly .

A preper’s perfect read

It's a very good and well written book. The narrator wasn't the easiest voice to get into.

The story leaves a lot of questions unanswered and the lead character forgets about people who may suffer with the pandemic. Overall, great that it's an English story for once.

It is a very inspired listen with some wonderful characters and scenes. The writer takes you on a very interesting journey from normal school teacher from South Oxhey to a rescuer to a fully functioning survivalist.

Very good but it just misses something.

I loved a good post apocalyptic story about survival, without people just going Wild West on each other.
