I really liked Madeleine Watts' writing style, the way that at times the main characters behaviours/feelings are effected/shown by climate change. However I was really confused as to why the great great great great explorer grandfather just dipped in and out in (seemingly) random places not really added much to what was happening at that point. From the blurb it seemed like he was going to have a much bigger part to play - maybe I'm missing something?
