Under the despotic rule of Xan Lyppiat, the Warden of England, the old are despairing and the young cruel. Theo Faren, a cousin of the Warden, lives a solitary life in this ominous atmosphere. That is, until a chance encounter with a young woman leads him into contact with a group of dissenters. Suddenly his life is changed irrevocably as he faces agonising choices which could affect the future of mankind.

Ce que les critiques en disent

“Extraordinary . . . daring . . . frightening in its implications.”
—The New York Times

“She writes like an angel. Every character is closely drawn. Her atmosphere is unerringly, chillingly convincing. And she manages all this without for a moment slowing down the drive and tension of an exciting mystery.”
—The Times (UK)

Children of men, is my favourite movie, but the book doesn’t have the same story line. But it is still a good listen and would recommend it.

Good story, should be re-produced with updated narration more suited to the material. Narrator was great in Winston Churchill biography, but too quirky for this book.

Narrator's performance gets in the way
