I devoured this book in an afternoon and am so glad i came across it. Rice's prose was beautiful and evocative, creating a community of characters that felt truly real and lived in. I loved that the nature of the disaster/crisis is believable and explained enough to make the novel work, but is not the focus of the story itself. I'll definitely be re reading again!
