The Pharmacist by Rachelle Atalla (Hodder & Stoughton)

Post-apocalyptic living in an underground bunker without privacy and little joys, where people are slowly losing their humanity and dignity. And then there is Wolfe, the bunker's pharmacist, grateful to be safe and in the same time questioning her mind and sanity, wanting more for herself and others in this claustrophobic atmosphere. She meets the leader, erratic and paranoid man who wants something from Wolfe for exchange of food.
Danger is everywhere and Wolfe connects with others and tries to survive. 

Well written with gripping story and characters that the reader can relate to. Suffocating atmosphere, anger, rage, love, all the emotional palette is there and you just can't put the book down.

It also opens the question  - is it better be safe and trapped or...?

Highly recommended.

4/5
