I laughed and cried reading this and it may be one of the best literary novels I have ever read. I am definitely interested in more books like this, with a focus on ecology and personhood. It is extremely good and I highly recommend this book.

Kaya, the main character of this book is subject to extreme childhood neglect from and absent mother and alcoholic father. The book focuses on her abandonment and loneliness as it follows her story.mack_urdaddy's review against another edition

The book is set in the 1950s and 1960s. Therefore, the society is segregated and racial slurs are mentioned.mausi's review against another edition
