Despite the tag of post apocalyptical, the setting is only the backdrop for what is really a treatise on maternal love. For every action sequence, the author subjects us to lengthy discourses of the minds of the characters, as well a back stories that may or may not be pertinent to the story. This makes the novel jerky, flitting from character to character, slowing the action. The setting of the story is quite satisfactory, but under-explored. The author leaves an opening for a sequel, but I'm not sure I'm up for it. Coming from inveterate reader of all things post apocalyptical, who suffered through the writing of Angrey American and DJ Molles , I admit it is not much of a recommendation, even though the author of The Salt Line is clearly a better writer.
