As the novel progresses and group’s goals begin to change, it’s difficult to know whether it’s a result of her idealism or whether there’s a genuine threat to be countered as Jacks claims.I read the first page and it was gripping and before I knew I had dived deep into the book and came out only after I had finished it. Presented as transcripts of a female prisoner’s statement recovered from a Lancaster jail, disaster looms over the novel from the start. I liked that it doesn’t flinch at the difficulties, and I appreciated that there is nuance in the presentation. The extreme north east part of the barn has an inserted loft floor, below which there is a stone scarcement indicating the presence of a former and lower loft floor. As many have pointed out since, even Wyndham isn’t that cosy, but there is a strain in British dystopian novels in which they explore the collapse of British (or more often English) society, and the attempt to preserve values in the face of catastrophe.

I liked this one a lot more than other dystopian books like Station Eleven, in which it bothered me that all these people lived around the Great Lakes, yet no one seemed concerned about preparing for winter. The first floor has exposed waney ceiling beams and rafters throughout, and timber lintels and window seats.I really liked the way it made you think about the problems of resistance, rather than glossing over them. I think this is miles better than books like Station Eleven, which was a book that pretty much turned me off to dystopian/post-apocalyptic books. Carhullan is a Bampton, Cumbria self catering cottage and comes with 4 bedrooms for 10 guests, 4 bathrooms and welcomes children.

After reading your detailed description I don't think I will venture into the book, but I did pick up on your reference to Rosemary Sutcliffe's "The Silver Branch". Jackie Nixon herself is a splendid creation, ablaze with the schizoid, lacerating intelligence of a guerrilla messiah, or warrior queen. I find Sarah Hall a meditative author, she has a careful, distanced, measured pace, the narrator can feel quite remote even while passionately and centrally committed.

The oak dog-leg staircase has turned balusters and balustrade, and plain flat-topped newel posts with shallow pyramidal caps.
