Books like The road to winter by Smith, Mark
When a deadly virus wipes out Finn’s family and most of his community, he retreats to the rugged Australian coast, living in solitude with his loyal dog Rowdy. For two severe winters he hunts, fishes, trades, and keeps a low profile, evading the violent gang the Wilders, led by the ruthless Ramage, who controls the northern territory. Finn’s isolation is broken when Rose, a fleeing asylum seeker, storms onto the beach. Suffering from illness and desperate for help, Rose carries with her the hope of finding her younger sister Kas, who remains missing somewhere in the bush. With Ramage determined to retrieve his prisoners, Finn and Rose must navigate survival, danger, and the harsh realities of their post‑pandemic world.
