'Not Alone kept me breathless with tension.' - Emma Donoghue,
bestselling author of Room 'Intensely moving, genuinely gripping,
plausible and absorbing' - Charlotte Mendelson, author of The
Exhibitionist In a world very close to our own, a mother and her
young son desperately fend for themselves in the confinement of
their one bedroom flat. Five years ago, a toxic microplastics storm
killed most of the population. Now Katie must forage and hunt the
few surviving animals for meat as she attempts to feed her little
boy, to care for him as best she can. At a time when stepping
outside could kill you, Harry is kept indoors at all costs, never
venturing beyond the entrance to their building, never knowing the
truth of how he came to call this place home. Bodies continue to
build up around them, inescapable layers of toxic dust hang heavily
in the air and Katie is only getting sicker. Then, after years
without human contact, Katie and Harry are terrified by the arrival
of another survivor and Katie knows she must finally undertake a
previously unthinkable journey in search of the man she was
supposed to marry. In search of a new life for her son. Outside
their safe haven, Katie and Harry encounter a world that is forever
changed. There are new threats to their safety here, fellow
survivors who are determined to start a new population, to save the
world they so desperately misunderstood. Katie is pushed to
unimaginable lengths as she pushes ahead in search of a better life
and as Harry's safety wavers in the balance. As they travel further
north, leaving their once safe haven so far behind them, Katie
knows how much harder it will be to return if things go wrong. In
Not Alone, Sarah K. Jackson combines heart-stopping adventure, with
a deeply felt and vividly imagined central bond between mother and
child which transcends the world around them. This stunning debut
is about love, trust, hope and the looming threat facing us all.
