This book is about the main character, a woman, constantly referred to as "the girl" and a third person, "the warden". We don't learn their names. It is not a heartwarming story, but very captivating, about life in a world at war, altered by climate change entering an ice age. There are some hints in the book that it could be some kind of nuclear winter.

Did take some time to get "into" the story. But after a while it becomes a page turner. Original ideas, great world building, thought provoking.
