After Us the Birds - Rakel Haslund

Something has happened. The world is in ruins. Only one survivor remains. Thirsty for fresh air and open spaces, she must venture beyond her familiar confines. In the hypnotic oblivion of the world before, she walks without stopping until she glimpses the sea. Soon she feels her identity slipping away. Nature has reclaimed its rights. How can she live from now on?
