2 books:
- The story is about a girl and a boy and a fence...it's during a war and they're people who are eating other humans "purples" and others who are not or something like that. The boy and girl communicate through the fence; I don't think they ever meet. Something about XZ27...at one point a small boy is approaching a group of people and they have meat cooking over a fire but he is yanked back at the last minute by another boy who warns him that the meat he is seeing used to be another little boy...*sigh* I read this years ago and I've tried to find it ever since.
2nd book is about a family who moves to a farm-like place to try to fix their marriage and they unwittingly bring about a plague of locusts with them. The locusts eat everything, including people and livestock. The next-door-neighbour (who the husband was having an affair with) gets eaten and they find her skeletal remains and her strawberry hair attached to them once the locusts population goes down [either fire or birds ends up getting rid of them]. It's part romance and part horror, I read it a while ago but everytime I google "plague of locusts who eat people" I get...well everything but this particular book.
Any help?
