Friedman has taken all of my anxieties about climate change, covid, bureaucratic government overreach, and motherhood and wrapped them up in this short novel. It packs a powerful punch and while I read it weeks ago, I continue to reflect on it and have absolutely put off reviewing it. What can I say to get across that the spare prose belies a deep look into the anxieties of our unknown future? I was discomfited by this novel and I recommend it.
