In "The Life Below" by Alexandra Monir, the story unfolds in a post-apocalyptic world where the surface has become inhospitable. The narrative follows a young girl, struggling to survive in a subterranean society that operates under strict rules and routines. As she uncovers secrets about her family's past and the true nature of their underground existence, she begins to question everything she has known. The quest for truth and a longing for freedom drives her to take risks, leading her to confront both the dangers of the outside world and the oppressive structures of her own community.
