This book was a great pick for Bookclub. I didn’t love it but it gave me lots to think about. The whole issue of climate anxiety and how to cope with forces that seem bigger than you was dealt with well through the lens of one family. He writing is crisp and the interactions between family members written brilliantly. There are a few comic moments to break from the sense of doom.
