A Wedding With Only 36 Hours Left

Instead of celebrating a marriage and looking toward the future, the characters suddenly have to confront the possibility that there may be no future at all.

As the countdown begins, the wedding becomes a setting for characters to reconsider their relationships, regrets, choices, and what really matters when time is running out.

Despite its apocalyptic premise, Barnard’s novel isn’t simply a disaster story. The author describes it as a story filled with light, hope, and emotional resonance, using the extraordinary situation to explore very human questions about love, mortality, and connection.
