What a time to be reading this book. As if everying didn't feel dystopian and collapsing already, I end up reading something about hunger and fear, and survival in awful circumstances. It's made me even more wary and nervous about the fragility of our food system - there are some very memorable passages about cities and food.
It's a very, very good book though. Great descriptions, a good understanding of the siege itself (without lots of dull military description), good characters with interesting backstories. I was very pleased to learn that there's a sequel with the same characters several years on.
