Her horror escalates as Chris lovingly embraces the impoverished Margaret, oblivious to her age. The pair sit beneath trees, conversing quietly, until Chris sleeps.<div data-track-module="am-related_carousel^related_carousel" data-track-selector=".rotator-panels a:not([class*=external])" data-dm-rotator-rotate="false" data-track-pos="static" data-dm-rotator-auto-init="" id="p-20" class="related-carousel with-fb-or-tw home half" data-dm-rotator-active-class="active" data-dm-rotator-page-count="1.0" data-dm-social-article-auto-init="" data-dm-rotator-page-size="1"> <div class="rotator bdrcc"> <div class="rotator-title"> RELATED ARTICLES <ul class="rotator-pages link-xocc"> <li class="rotator-prev">

Dutiful Edna, married to a doting, but dull, husband is befriended by a charming young bachelor.<p class="mol-para-with-font">For the first time in her life, she is overwhelmed by ‘the throbbings of desire’. She becomes infatuated, moody and sexually overwrought and starts railing against female servitude.

Nearly 1,000 years later, in a Britain buried under impenetrable forests, Abyssinian scholars investigating dead civilisations and the lost cities of their ‘white men oppressors’ find his journal hidden in a vacuum flask.<p class="mol-para-with-font">Also found are mysterious tablets inscribed KEEP OFF THE GRASS and PECKHAM 3 MILES.
Poor Hopkins, a pompous bore, suddenly blossomed during the catastrophe, as his journal reveals.<p class="mol-para-with-font">A terrific sci-fi classic that is funny, frightening and chillingly tinged with plausibility. <div class="mol-html" id="mol-486adc20-e37d-11e8-949c-91cc36524ac7">
