ClimateChange

pick

On a planet overwhelmed by climate catastrophe, 3 children search for their aunt after their parents disappear from their dying seaside village. Their mother is stolen into slavery for a society of sun worshippers. A man is forced to abandon scholarship to take on his father‘s legacy of wool production to earn a ticket to escape the drought stricken city. After Whiskey When We‘re Dry, I was hoping for another powerful character study. ⬇️

LeafingThroughLife While the writing is strong, instead of a character study, this book takes the shape of a fable where the characters take a backseat to the message of a people who have forgotten the lessons of a civilization long erased and threaten to mercilessly drain the earth of its resources. Again. I wanted more. More depth of character, stronger threads connecting the book‘s primitive future to our present. Still a soft pick. September #bookspin 1mo
