Book Description
The secluded Welsh commune where Kate and Albert grew up is—after twenty years—disintegrating, taking their parents’ marriage with it. They both try to escape: Kate, at seventeen, to a suburbia she knows only through fiction and Albert, at eleven, into preparations for the end of the world— which is coming, he is sure.
Their father, Don, leader and maker of elaborate speeches, sets to work on reunifying the commune, and the family, by bringing them in to the modern age, through self-sufficiency, charisma and a rave with a 10k soundsystem.
The last day on earth is coming.
Bring your own booze.
