This is the story of two teenagers who are looking forward to a beautiful life. Eva is eighteen and wants to dance, becoming a ballerina like her mother. Nell is sixteen, loves to read and learn. She wants to go to Harvard. Suddenly, the world falls apart. Their mother dies of cancer and their father dies due to an accident. Even more happens as the world itself changes dramatically. Electricity is lost, gas is no longer available, food is scarce, and more. It means the end of the girls' dreams. How they learn to cope with all the changes and determine how to live, let alone exist, is the basis of this tale. The love of the sisters sustains them and sometimes separates them. It's a good, good tale and I liked it very much.
