The novel's characters live a harsh life in a small area which is presently the English county of [[Kent]], and know little of the world outside of "Inland" (England). Their level of civilization is similar to England's prehistoric [[Iron Age]], although they do not produce their own iron but salvage it from ancient machinery. Church and state have combined into one secretive institution, whose mythology, based on misinterpreted stories of the war and an old Catholic saint (Eustace), is enacted in puppet shows. |
