The first half of this book is rather grim, as P.D. James explores what the world would be without children. There is no hope for the future, and cities crumble. Women have their kittens baptized instead of babies. I almost gave up on the book but am glad I didn't. The second half of the book is full of action, as a rebel group begs Theo to join them, for one of their members has been arrested. I enjoyed the book, and the characters stayed with me for days. James always expands my vocabulary: a "pustulous" road.
