I really enjoyed this, a nice addition to my dystopian shelf. The premise is the usual, a virus wipes out 99% of the worlds population and things are bad and people are mean and men are stupid. What I really loved about this was the protagonist, the unnamed midwife (Karen, Dusty, Jane or whatever), I loved the wit and her outlook on life that comes across in her journal entries. It's not perfect by any means but there is enough quirks and differences to make it stand out. This is the first book of 3, I will read the next one but this stands on its own really well.
