Review of "The Second Sleep" by Robert Harris

Not one of his better books, but I am amazed at the volume of his output, all of which is at least good enough. This is a post-apocalyptic story, set in an England which has returned to a mainly medieval level of technological and economic civilisation, dominated by an Anglican church that jealously guards access to any knowledge about the past. The world making is a bit better than the plot and the characters, and it carried me along, but I wasn't all that engaged.
