Featuring Jodie Comer of Killing Eve fame, this gripping tale is now a major motion picture. Megan Hunter's debut novel, The End We Start From, is a compelling and innovative narrative that begins as London succumbs to rising floodwaters and a woman brings new life into the world.
Hailed as "beautifully spare and haunting" by Station Eleven author Emily St. John Mandel, and praised for its "exquisite prose" by Hannah Kent of Burial Rites, this novel captivates from the first page.
In the aftermath of childbirth, a mother and her newborn are thrust into a perilous journey northward, seeking refuge from an increasingly unstable world. Despite the dangers that lie ahead, the promise of new life and the glimmer of hope propel them forward.
The End We Start From presents a hauntingly familiar world teetering on the brink of chaos, yet pulsing with the resilience of the human spirit. This dystopian vision, described as "Virginia Woolf does cli-fi" by The Independent, offers a poignant exploration of family, survival, and the strength found in new beginnings.
Benedict Cumberbatch declares it "stunning", while critics and readers alike are captivated by Hunter's masterful storytelling. This is a tale that will resonate long after the final page is turned, a testament to the enduring power of hope in the face of adversity.

Sherlock & Pages is a little bookshop with a big heart. We are based in Frome, Somerset, England and curate lists of books in the areas we are passionate about – landscape, nature, history, and heritage. In short, the conservation of all we’ve inherited and all we are responsible to pass on. We aim to inspire and be inspired, to form a literary culture of care and passion about this precious planet we call home.
This is a shop where you might find something you haven’t seen before, and we like to think we’ve got something for everyone. We choose each of our books with care and for a reason. This is because our physical store is small but beautifully formed, holding only around 1200 titles at any one time. We try and recreate the feel of the shop wherever we are online, to reflect our niche categories and personality.
We have an active social media presence and aim to share our story with all our friends. The long-term goal is to build a hub for the books and writers we believe in. Who knows where our adventure will lead but by supporting Sherlock & Pages you’re helping us to add a further layer of magic to our little corner of the world. If you haven’t visited our physical store, one day you might just make a literary pilgrimage down to Somerset.
Our tagline is ‘Long Live the Hedgerows’ and our symbol a hibernating dormouse. If you want to support an independent with a unique character and which will share stories with you for years to come, then choose Sherlock & Pages. The world needs bookshops with soul, for they are ‘citadels of light.’
