This has an interesting theme but is rather a slow story and I did not engage with the main character.I usually love Kingsolver's writing but sadly not this time.

I loved this book so much, that I will listen to it again. I found myself rooting for the families at the heart of the story, and the natural world that surrounds them. The book portrays the impact of climate change and our collective inability to adequately grapple with it without cynicism. This book and its protagonists will stay with me.

Deeply Moving
