Phoebe recommended this to me - and it does not disappoint in a major way. I read several reviews - one from the New York Times - and they all commented that the sense of disaster was "underplayed" to the detriment of the story. I did notice that feature after reading the reviews - but it didn't detract for me.
The premise is the world after a pandemic destroys 99 percent of the world's population - and a Traveling Symphony - featuring music and Shakespeare - travels around one part of the world and gives us a picture of what life has become.
It is not The Road, but it is a good story. Especially is you like Shakespeare!
