The story will hit your most vulnerable emotions right from the start. Reliving the past is tough: “His heart remained fixated on the past. There was the time with Abi and the time after.”
Grief needs to be dealt with else: "It’s going to eat away at you, bit by bit, and it’ll drive you insane".
But how will Noah deal with that as the entire country is in crisis. Civil war has broken out. There are enforcers everywhere. Even the good will die you. "The maelstrom of chaos swirled around him until nothing was left."
As the author pointed out: “The past had to be let go, the future was yet to come, but the present, in all its turmoil, divisiveness, and wrath, stretched over them with just a tiny bit of hope and grace. And for that, as little as it might seem, would be enough.”
