It makes you incredibly hungry almost every chapter. Which is fitting for a people struggling daily to get, prepare and store enough of it according to the season.

Building from the point above, beyond the morality bits, it is quite the how-to manual on survival without tech. If the apocalypse comes, THIS ONE is the book you want.

No, wait, three: The illustrations are lovely.

They could not be forgotten, she thought, because now is now. It can never be a long time ago.
