Description
Edgar Hopkins' greatest pride in life was winning poultry breeding contests. As an active member of the British Lunar Society, he became one of the first people to learn that the moon is on a collision course with Earth. With this knowledge comes a sense of urgency and a need for secrecy from his fellow society members. As the truth about the impending disaster becomes impossible to keep hidden, Edgar finds himself at the centre of a small English village's preparations for the end of the world. In these final days, he befriends two young siblings and writes what he calls The Hopkins Manuscript - a testament to the ordinary and extraordinary as they dig trenches and play cricket before the end of days. First published in 1939, this prescient novel is a powerful warning from the past that captures the breadth of human nature in all its complexity.
