Recommended to read in the dark days of winter. (  ) caimanjosh | Dec 20, 2020 | Really enjoyed this book. Loved Makepeace. (  ) nick4998 | Oct 31, 2020 | Wow, a really good post-apocalyptic cowboy novel. Yes, you read that correctly. Coherent in style and content even if the intellectual concept is not. Contains the essential elements of all these tropes, the wild brutality of the post apocalypse, the mythical history of the gone world and the simple morals of the cowboy. All woven together with such skill that it soon takes shape in your head as a post-apocalyptic cowboy story. YeeHaa (  ) Ken-Me-Old-Mate | Sep 24, 2020 | I liked the book but the last chapter ruined it. Seems like the last chapter was added to an unfinished book by someone else just to get it over with and get the book sold. (  ) dahoon | Mar 26, 2020 |
 Deep into this unbearably sad yet often sublime novel, Makepeace says: “Everyone expects to be at the end of something. What no one expects is to be at the end of everything.” There’s nothing left to say after that — yet Makepeace keeps going, and the reader follows her, if not hopefully then in the hope that she will win out and that her life will have meaning to someone, somewhere.

Out on the far northern border of a failed state, Makepeace--sheriff and perhaps the last citizen--patrols the city ruins, salvaging books but keeping the guns in good repair. Inga biblioteksbeskrivningar kunde hittas. |

Far North is a different kind of post-apocalyptic story. It takes place in Siberia, and other parts of Russia. It's a tale of loneliness, but also of a very different kind of hope. (
