Then
A Science Fiction, Post Apocalyptic, Fiction book. I'm going to give this 4 stars for now. For the first part...
It was 9.22, the moment when everything stopped. First there was the burning air, then came the darkness, the fire, and finally the frost.Now, in a frozen, wasted London, a woman - uncertain even of her own name - is fighting to stay alive. Along with a small group of fellow survivors, she takes refuge in an abandoned skyscraper in what was once the financial centre. But spectres stalk the empty offices and endless corridors, and soon visions of a forgotten world emerge, a world of broken love and betrayal, and horrific, shocking mercies - a world more traumatic even than the desolate present.Then is a novel of singular invention and bravery. With it, Julie Myerson has created an echo chamber of the heartbreaking and the terrifying, and an enduring apocalyptic vision.

More About Then
I'm going to give this 4 stars for now. For the first part of this book, I was a bit confused - as was the protagonist. who is largely without memory, and living in an office high rise, after what would appear to be the end of the world as we know it. Outside everything is frozen or on fire. There is no electricity, no communications,... I hated every single word of this book. Yet, almost a whole year after reading it, it is still with me. Almost scene by scene, carved into my memory. That makes it a very successful narrative, right? It made me angry, every page of it. I wanted to rip it, burn it. It was very, very difficult to read. Moreover, the ending is extremely... Myerson does a slow, powerful build of emotion like no one else, and this is one of her best: beautiful, hauntingly lovely, and heart-breakingly sad. As you slowly begin to grasp what has happened to Izzy, it's almost too much to bear, until you realise who and what she really is at the beginning of the story.
