Yikes. Also wow. Zombies, zombies everywhere!! In the end of course the book's not about them -- explaining them or fighting them or curing them -- it's very much about life. And yet there's a doomed quality about the characters; you sense that theirs will not be a happy ending. Even -- perhaps most clearly -- on the bright sunny days at the beginning, darkness hovers around the edges of the scene, waiting to close in. Post-(zombie) apocalypse, clearly; the clipping from the New York Times makes that clear. But lots of unanswered questions: who are the Sisterhood, how much do/did they know, how did they gain power, why did they do what they did to Gabrielle, why are the other villages different, why is there no travel/communication between villages, who built the fences, etc. Want more!! Sadly, I doubt there will be a sequel. Then again, the main character's still alive so perhaps...
