Nuclear war has destoryed all life in the northen world, the last people still lived in Australia. Some of them tried to live as normally as possible as before the neclear war broke.
Be honestly, I didn't really understand what happened in this story at first, even bored. But it totally change my feel when they went to northen countries, trying to find some life activities with hope. They didn't find any person or animal alive, somebody was in despair and waited for dying day, another could not accept that cruel truth and tried live normally. one character -- Mary, before she died, she still thinking about her garden need a beautiful chair, that makes me feel rediculous.
At last, I really like this paragraph ,excerpt from Ch.5 : "Women could help a man a lot sometimes, if they were brave. But while they lived in their dream world, they were like a heavy stone around a man's neck."
