More a back to nature than apocalyptic.
The idea is interesting, this time, it's not a bomb or a virus but just a complete economical colapse. No more trades, no electricity, a country folding back on itself.
The story is about two sisters living in a wood with there hippy like parents, and left alone after their death and the slow stop of all activities. So in a way , with home education and few contact with social word, they were already where quite prepared.
It is because of their isolation that the book is more about a return to nature, the same book with a city angle would have been about gang wars and terror.
Here it's the slow learning of how to leave with what the forest and nature has to offer, and education in the escencial, learning to do without.

The slow pace of the book give time to get use to the situation and make it quite credible but a few heavy strings spoiled a bit the general good first impression. It is very frustrating when the author manipulation and purpose is to openly apparent, when you sense the cavalery coming way before even catching sight of it.
A nice book all the same and i'm being a bit snake tongue with it. For the lenght it worth a read, and far more quality than deffect are gathered there.
