There is something awful out there that has to be avoided. After catching a sight of it, someone feels motivated to use lethal force. Nobody is aware of its nature or origin.
There are still a few dispersed survivors five years after it started, including Malorie and her two little children. She's lived in an abandoned home by the river and has always fantasised about running away to somewhere secure. It's time to go now that the boy and girl are four years old, but they have a frightening voyage ahead of them: twenty miles downriver in a rowboat while blindfolded, with nothing but her cunning and the kids' trained hearing for support. Make a mistake, and they will perish. They are constantly being followed, but is it a monster, animal, or man?
Bird Box, a glimpse of a globe unfurled that will have you turning pages quickly, seamlessly combines the past and present.
