In this profound ecological fable, a mysterious plague has
destroyed the vast majority of the human race. Isherwood Williams,
one of the few survivors, returns from a wilderness field trip to
discover that civilization has vanished during his absence.
Eventually he returns to San Francisco and encounters a female
survivor who becomes his wife. Around them and their children a
small community develops, living like their pioneer ancestors, but
rebuilding civilization is beyond their resources, and gradually
they return to a simpler way of life. A poignant novel about
finding a new normal after the upheaval of a global crisis.
