brogan7's review against another edition
slow-paced
3.0
I thought this was going to be the story of what it was like to live through that year (1816), what it was like in Switzerland or North America or England...but instead it was a bit of a mashup between 1816, the First World War, and the extinction of passenger pigeons, sometimes without much indication at all of which time period she's in.
One thing I did get out of it is that there have been multiple occasions of absolute (human) misery in human history, that stable weather is something my generation in my part of the world takes for granted, but it has not ever been thus; in fact, it is the exception not the norm.
