Title: Shades of the future?
Product review: I could almost call this a horror novel, though there are only two brief instances of violence throughout the story. Into the Forest is horror at a different level, the terror of being left isolated with no way of knowing if the rest of the country is rebuilding or if your friends and family are still alive.Granted, we survived the so-called Y2K hysteria, and thankfully this is a work of fiction. Jean Hegland paints a near-apocalyptic picture of depravity, and how two sisters manage to stay together in spite of not being able to flip on a lightswitch or microwave a burrito as they could in the past, when they could still be children with dreams instead of being thrust into a nightmare where Nell (the narrator) must decide how long to keep a used tea bag before throwing it away. A gripping story.
