The dogs would sense a weakened prey and be on her in a minute. Perhaps it would be the easier way to go; a quick bite to her throat by the leading hound would be preferable to lying frozen and starving in bed... The end has finally come - or has it? The world has effectively destroyed itself through its dependence on technology, its lack of moral direction and its inability to deal with a global pandemic. In a remote northern village, Observa waits patiently for the fate that is befalling everyone around her. Will everything cease with that final breath or is another existence waiting for her, in which she can retrieve so much that she has lost? Sensitive, wise and intensely moving, Vegan Leather explores many of the questions that we all face as we age and death approaches. Set in a dystopian future, but still evoking the unique beauty of Hampton's beloved Lake District, this is a novel you will never forget.
