Halfway Through

Halfway through the book and nothing much has changed. Man and Son are still on their way to the South in search of warmth and hospitality. However, there has been some revealing flashbacks  before the unknown disaster. In one flashback, it is revealed that the son was not born yet, but his mother was pregnant with him when the disaster occurred. She gives birth to him months later, and years later she tires of the endless pursuit of safety, wishing instead she was dead. She then leaves Man and Son, with her fate being unknown. There has also been some power struggles between Man and Son. Man is weakening, and he depends on his son much more. Even though this book is still a lot of the same, I am still enjoying it.
