How I Live Now
by Meg Rosoff
How I Live Now is
a story about 15 year-old Elizabeth’s struggle to survive during a fictional
World War III outbreak sometime in the beginning of the 21st
century. After constant conflicts with her new step-mother, Elizabeth (who goes
by Daisy) is sent away from her Manhattan home to live with her maternal aunt
in England. She finds that she instantly bonds with her cousins, and together
they fight to survive while her aunt is stranded in Oslo after an attack.
Meanwhile, Daisy finds herself entangled in forbidden love, and a new desire to
protect her new family from any harm.
Her protective instinct is put to use when the boys (Osbert, Edmond and
Isaac) and girls (Daisy and Piper) are separated, leaving Daisy solely
responsible for protecting her youngest cousin. Will Daisy and Piper make it
home safely? Will Daisy reunite with her love? Read Meg Rosoff’s How I Live Now to find out!
