Sonja Arlow's Reviews > Lark Ascending

A post-apocalyptic survivalist story that is literary fiction at heart. What beautiful turns of phrase the pages contain, what heartache, what glimmers of hope.

I was warned this would be a slow burn, but the pacing didn’t bother me at all. The story captured my attention right from the start with its treacherous boat journey from Main to Ireland, while the rest of the world burns.

The ending had me a bit emotional. It so beautifully captures how life can filled with heart breaking complexity but also joy at the same time.
