"What is your favourite apocalypse, Doctor? What's your doomsday of choice?" Abigail Saunders has a peculiar problem. She is sure that an apocalypse is on her doorstep. She just cannot remember which one. In her mind, one doomsday flows into another in a blend of memory and fantasy. Eighteen years previously, Abi was an ordinary real-estate agent with a routine life that revolved around work, family and mortgage bills. When a deadly pandemic spreads through the world like wildfire, Abi's routine existence is cruelly shattered. As countries close borders, all trade stops and the world disperses into small, isolated pockets of grief, confusion and survival. For twelve terrifying months, Abi finds herself hiding in a red-brick house tucked away in the Australian hillside, where chance and choice bring together an eclectic sample of humanity. A widowed bee-keeper, a cynical biker, a broken engineer and the displaced real-estate agent have to forge their way forward in this grim new world. For all the inhabitants of the red-brick house, survival demands a dose of reality adjustment. For Abigail Saunders reality adjustment becomes a dangerous habit. A Lullaby For Rainy Doomsdays weaves together familiar post-apocalyptic themes into a psychological twister that leaves you guessing where reality ends and where fantasy begins.
