Apocalyptic fiction based in London and surrounding areas about hyper bred sunflowers (triffids) that walk, feed on flesh and are taking over the world- this is after everyone went blind from watching a meteor shower. Few survivors remain, this is their story....

Not generally a book I’d pick but it was the only English novel from a selection of Dutch ones available where I was staying. So I went on and killed this in a day for company!! Nonetheless it amused me :)
