Not a bad book to read while being covid positive on the back gardens of friends and family in England in summer.
Haven't read much fiction recently so this was a nice change. I really enjoyed the writing style, and the story itself crosses over with our current pandemic reality a few times but primarily paints a picture of a post apocalyptic world, where electricity, the internet and civilisation in general have ceased to exist after most of the human population is wiped out.
In this world, a travelling group of musicians and actors perform Shakespeare and try to survive, and the story weaves around a set of characters who were tentatively linked together in the before times.
It evoked the feeling of fondly remembering the things we have now like planes and trains and money and well, civilisation, and I felt a strange sense of wonder for the world we are somewhat lucky to have.
