They encounter different people, find shelter in an abandoned house, meet a horse that they keep. In the second part of the book we are a few years later when the young adults are working in a factory. Their situation has changed, yet not ideal yet. They are tiny cogs in a capitalist machine.
The novel is not bad, but not very interesting either. We - at least I - are not moved by the protagonists, who are equally victim of the author's obsession with semantics and politics, just cogs in her narrative too. She tries to give her novel a specific voice stylistically, yet it does not add much to the story itself or to the creative entertainment readers expect.
