Had to think awhile on this one.  The writer hones his craft with tremdous expertise, with almost painful detailed character developement, drawing you in, making you care, making you empathetically interested in what this man is all about.  He's one who is so prepared to face the end of the world that he looses functionality in the "now".  Then, after the world ends, he looses his "now" as he descends into a madness trying to recapture what was lost before "the ejection".  In the process, he forgets who he is as a man, a human, an adult.  Enters this girl.  She is his savior.  In re-connecting with the world through her, he finds himself, his new world, his new purpose.  He, in turn, teaches her how to become an adult human in an inhuman world.The book is over-all, a treatise in how to successfully live a meaningful & rewarding life, even while encountering others who are consumed by selfishness, animalistic bends, who believe that revenge is their right.  While somewhat dark, I found it to be lifting, touching-but never maudeling, and solidly well-written.  Mr. Kilroy gives one MUCH to ponder, much to appreciate.
