In a burned-out America, a father and his young son walk under a darkened sky, heading slowly for the coast.
They must keep walking.
An exemplar of post-apocalyptic writing, The Road is a true modern classic, a masterful, moving and increasingly prescient novel..
Attempting to survive in this brave new world, the young boy and his protector have nothing but a pistol to defend themselves.
The landscape is destroyed, nothing moves save the ash on the wind and cruel, lawless men stalk the roadside, lying in wait.
They have no idea what, if anything, awaits them there.
