How far would you go to save those you love? Lowrie and Shen are the youngest people on the planet after a virus caused global infertility. Closeted in a pocket of London and doted upon by a small, ageing community, the pair spend their days mudlarking and looking for treasure until a secret is uncovered that threatens not only their family but humanity's entire existence. Now Lowrie and Shen face an impossible choice: in the quiet at the end of the world, they must decide what to sacrifice to save the whole human race...



Trade Review
“I adored The Quiet at the End of the World and it will be one of the books I’ll recommend more often to anyone who cares to listen. It is essential that you read this if you love realistic post-apocalyptic stories.” * Parabatai Reviews *
“[…] a credible, hugely rewarding read.” * SFX *
It’s quite beautiful. For a post-apocalyptic novel set at the end of civilisation, two women find love amongst the pain and ennui. I think that's so lovely. * Yours *
“This book made me cry, it made me laugh and it made me yell uncontrollably at 1am and I would absolutely do it all over again.” * Fantastic Books and Where to Find Them *
“Honestly, I was hooked from the first two pages and I did not want to put this book down.” * MamaMummyMum *
