Het eind is ons begin by Megan Hunter
2.0
Amanda Palmer's "Drowning in the sound" did in a couple of minutes and a few notes what this book couldn't: convey the existential dread that comes with raising a child while the world around you is falling apart due to (climate) catastrophe.
The lack of world-building, explained away by the new mother's aversion for news programs, didn't help as the disaster is sort of supposed to be central to the plot. This makes the story miss a sort of urgency.
And yet, it's still a terrifying reminder of what will happen if we don't act now.
