Sue Regan liked a review for The Walls are Closing In
Castle has crafted an eerily believable future for America that is reminiscent of George Orwell's "1984". From the giant wall insulating America from the rest of the world, to the propaganda on mandatory, controlled television, to the cameras monitoring the protagonist's every movement, I was chilled. This is a fascinating read about how 75 years from now, everything could be totally different in our world.

    Sue Regan liked a review for The Walls are Closing In
    The Walls are Closing In paints a vivid picture of a chilling future which feels all too believeable in today's climate. An insular, authoritarian regime rules over a brittle, fearful United States. Our protagonist, refreshingly a scientist, has a legitimate purpose working within the restricted buffer zone bordering the towering wall now dividing her country from the rest of the world. It's likely to get her in trouble.Jacqui Castle is a skilled author, presenting us with an engaging narrative likely to prove a powerful cautionary tale as well as exhilarating ride.

        I felt quickly like the world of the story was real.  Reopening cabinets expecting more food and moving your leg from under the covers then back again, that dwelling in your own head- I think those are important elements to make her seam like any of us...just ina different time. The dream description in the cafe I also really like- as her life sounds lonely and being in a busy cafe taking laugher in, shows that she is longing for a simple thing. Something you shouldn't have to dream to experience. I looking forward to reading the whole book! All the best, Alyssa

            The walls are closing in, we all feel it now in these uncertain times. I love the timeliness of this book and the gift of a novel to escape the reality of the present. Wonderful writer. Love the first chapter. Looking forward to the finished book.
