Франческа Хейг – лучшие книги

Ядерный апокалипсис расколол не только землю, но и само время, безвозвратно поделив его на До и После, на Старую и Новую Эру. А еще он поделил людей. Столь же безжалостно и безвозвратно.

Говорят, что близнецы стали массово появляться уже после Долгой Зимы, во втором и третьем поколениях Новой Эры. Теперь, по прошествии четырехсот лет после Взрыва, дети рожаются всегда по двое: мальчик и девочка. Здоровый, сильный и физически безупречный Альфа и хилый, уродливый, бесплодный Омега. Угнетатель и угнетаемый. Господин и слуга. Совершенство и ущербность. Но даже Альфы не в силах отменить безжалостного закона: люди не только рождаются парами. Но и умирают…

The ashes of the past cannot hide the truth forever.

The Omega resistance has been brutally attacked, its members dead or in hiding.

The Alpha Council’s plan for permanently containing the Omegas has begun.

But all is not entirely lost: the Council’s seer, The Confessor, is dead, killed by her twin’s sacrifice.

Cass is left haunted by visions of the past, while her brother Zach’s cruelty and obsession pushes her to the edge, and threatens to destroy everything she hopes for.

As the country moves closer to all-out civil war, Cass will learn that to change the future she will need to uncover the past. But nothing can prepare her for what she discovers: a deeply buried secret that raises the stakes higher than ever before.

When Gill and Gabe's elder son drowns overseas, they decide they must hide the truth from their desperately unwell teenaged daughter. But as Gill begins to send letters from her dead son to his sister, the increasingly elaborate lie threatens to prove more dangerous than the truth. A novel about family, food, grief, and hope, this gripping, lyrical story moves between Tasmania and London, exploring the many ways that a family can break down - and the unexpected ways that it can be put back together.
