|aIn this postapocalyptic novel, a father and his son walk alone through burned America. Nothing moves in the ravagedlandscape save the ash on the wind. It is cold enough to crack stones, and when the snow falls it is gray. They skyis dark. Their destination is the coast, although they don't know what, if anything, awaits them there. They havenothing; just a pistol to defend themselves against the lawless bands that stalk the road, the clothes they are wearing, a cart of scavenged food--and each other. This book boldly imagines a future in which no hope remains, but in which the father and his son, "each the other's world entire," are sustained by love. It is an unflinchingmeditation on the worst and the best that we are capable of: ultimate destructiveness, desperate tenacity, and the tenderness that keeps two people alive in the face of total devastation.--From publisher description
