The Last Woman in the World

De: Inga Simpson

Narrado por: Federay Holmes

Award-winning writer Inga Simpson terrifies and enthralls with this truly remarkable novel of a woman who must face her worst fears to survive and find beauty in the Australian bush.

Fear is her cage. But what's outside is worse...

It's night, and the walls of Rachel's home creak in the darkness of the Australian bush. Her fear of other people has led her to a reclusive life as far from them as possible, her only occasional contact with her sister.

A hammering on the door. There stand a mother, Hannah, and her sick baby. They are running for their lives from a mysterious death sweeping the Australian countryside - so soon, too soon, after everything.

Now Rachel must face her worst fears to help Hannah, search for her sister, and discover just what terror was born of us. . . and how to survive it.

For fans of STATION ELEVEN, BIRDBOX and A QUIET PLACE, this remarkable, frightening yet ultimately hopeful novel holds a mirror up to the world we live in today.©2022 Inga Simpson

Reseñas de la Crítica

The Last Woman in the World layers precise nature writing with a conspiratorial tone for our times, turning in a gripping apocalyptic thriller that infects the sublime features of the landscape with primal fear

Creepy and chilling

Each page is shaped with an impressive, world-building cinematic scope so that I was reminded of the thrilling paralysis I felt as I watched The Quiet Place, mixed with the frightening torment of the creepiest scenes in I Am Legend

Inga Simpson deftly combines horror and hope in this necessary read that is sure to set the literary world on fire. The Last Woman in the World will grab you and not let go

As terrifying as Bird Box or A Quiet Place but full of the most beautiful writing about nature. An absolute must-read

The Last Woman in the World is a novel of fear, fire and an uncertain future. A powerful narrative in Inga Simpson's own unique voice. Horrifying, yet humane and ultimately hopeful - a masterwork

A heart-racing, page-turning, hiding under the doona stuff. Will read anything this woman writes, did not expect to be so terrified

Chilling . . . powerful

Great book

Beautifully written and equally beautifully performed An end of the human race book that is eloquent, refreshing and entertaining. Finished in two days. All about the women, which is a welcome change.

Good book

Great story, well written, well narrated. A bit of an easy ending, but I enjoyed it all.

Very unique take on a pandemic in Australia

Finally. Something really different--and really good.

Great everything: writing, characters, plot, audio narration.

More interesting because it takes place in Australia, which I'm not all that familiar with.
