"Outside the world was ending and the snow continued to fall."

I have no idea what to say about this book, it was fantastic and never more real to me than right now. This was incredibly difficult to read considering the current state of the world, but absolutely brilliant. There's nothing like reading a road trip book about a Shakespeare troop in the aftermath of a global pandemic.

Trigger Warnings: Panic attacks, isolation, quarantine, sickness, pandemic, sexual assault, a religious cult, unhealthy/toxic relationships, cheating in romantic relationships, rape, suicide (on page), murder (on page), "selling" young women to men, women as objects
