WHEN THE ENGLISH FALL
by David Williams
This not your usual “end of the world” book. It is a LOT better! An Amish community is well prepared when a
solar storm knocks out all machinery worldwide.
But the English (anyone not Amish) begin to run out of food and their
money becomes worthless, civil society breaks down. The Amish are called to help. When they do,
their closed community is affected as never before.
Written entirely from the viewpoint of Jacob, an Amish
farmer who lives near several large cities, the book explores the challenges
and fears of a community that wants to avoid “the English” and their worldly
ways. Written with sympathy for both groups
and displaying an intimate knowledge of the Amish, the book is a look into the
future of a disaster. The one quibble with the book is a weak ending.
4 of 5 stars
