Summary:
Whenever a catastrophic solar storm brings about the collapse of modern civilization, an Amish community in Pennsylvania is swept up in the devastating aftermath. Once-bright skies are actually dark. Planes possess plummeted to the bottom. The systems of modern life have crumbled. Using their stocked larders and stores of materials, the Amish are unaffected at first. But as the English (the Amish name for all non-Amish people) are more and even more desperate, they begin to invade Amish farms, taking whatever they need and unleashing unthinkable violence within the peaceable community.
Noticed through the journal of an Amish farmer called Jacob as he tries to protect his family members and his way of life, When the English Fall examines the idea of peace when confronted with deadly chaos: Should associates of a nonviolent society defy their beliefs and consider up arms to guard themselves? And if indeed they don’t, can they survive?
