In 'Our Endless Numbered Days,' Claire Fuller weaves a story that transcends the boundaries of a simple tale of survival. Eight-year-old Peggy Hillcoat is taken from her London home by her father, a man obsessed with the imminent end of the world, and whisked away to a desolate cabin in the depths of a European forest. Her father's declaration that civilization has vanished leaves Peggy isolated from the rest of humanity, her life distilled to mere survival amidst the silent woods. After nearly a decade, Peggy reemerges into society, bearing the weight of secrets and the strength derived from her ordeal. The novel unravels the mysteries of her time in the forest and the transformative effect it had on her, crafting a narrative rich with psychological depth and a heart-stopping exploration of the human spirit caught between harrowing darkness and the faintest glimmers of hope.
