This book is really, really good. The end reminds me of Erdrich’s Future Home of the Living God. I recommend this to anyone struggling to continue moving through climate anxiety or generational trauma. I love a multigenerational novel. ❤️ This one packs quite a punch in just ~300 pages.

It was extremely difficult to keep up with family relationships and changing narrators. That made it almost impossible to connect with the characters.
