One day, in the early 2050s, the world turned upside down. After yet another pandemic, an excess of climatic disasters and shortages, the “great blackout” left Rebecca in the dark with her little daughter, while her husband disappeared. Their daily lives in France, like that of hundreds of millions of other people, descended into chaos before a totalitarian religious power, a terrifying alliance between Islamists and fundamentalist Christians, partially regained control. Practicing mainly the noir novel, the Frenchman Hervé Le Corre dives into anticipation with Who will live after usits 15e novel, weaving in three narrative strands and over fifty years the story of four generations of strong women who spend their lives “being afraid and waiting for the day to dawn”. And who all in their own way fight for their survival, passing on the torch of their humanity. A dark and gripping thriller which owes as much to The Scarlet Maid than to The road.
