About this listen

Dylan was six when The End came, back in 2018; when the electricity went off for good, and the 'normal' twenty-first century world he knew disappeared. Now he's 14 and he and his mam have survived in their isolated hilltop house above the village of Nebo in north-west Wales. Despite their close relationship, each has their own secrets, thoughts and memories, when emerge as, in turn, they write in a found notebook - the Blue Book of Nebo.

As a half Welsh mum of a 14 year old son, I enjoyed this story at many different levels, but it wasn't always easy listening and there were a few times I had to stop to go find a tissue! My son is hoping to listen next and it will be interesting to get his take on this beautifully crafted narrative.

Beautiful and deeply thought provoking

Brilliant, that is the best way I can describe the book. I read an article online about the best children's books for adults and this was included. Immediately I bought it and listened. Wow what an enjoyable experience. This is so well written and like so many young adult books it is better than so many adult books. The author is from North Wales and she captures the language tonality really well. Please don't be put off by this because the story is universal and incredibly well written and performed. Highly recommend this one.

simply stunning. it's stayed with me. I didn't want The End to end. loved it. The relationship between mother and son is painfully beautiful.

An incredible journey . Beautiful story telling. Honest,raw and authentic.

A small and perfectly formed literary novel of resilience and discovery firmly set in the language and landscape up above Nebo, near Bangor, in Wales…after The End.
Taut with unanswered questions, both the personal and regarding The End, the story moves along through the every day of subsistence living while the characters feel their way through the gloom of time-before baggage and post-end confusion by writing in turns in the book of the title name.
Really enjoyed this, great writing and a great story, would have been a page turner if I wasn’t listening to the audible version. More from Manon Steffan Ros please!

Just wow. Living in Wales, with a young son and a garage with a box in it containing a hand crank radio (in case we lose electricity), this just resonated with me deeply. I loved it. The performance was stunning. The sounds of Welsh were lovely. I would listen for another ten hours given the chance, bravo.
