It took me nearly three months to read this book, because the vivid beauty of Claire North's weaving together of personal loss, the horror of humanity, the beauty of recovery, and climate change impacts was giving me nightmares.  It was excellent.  I cried at numerous junctures and was moved by the stunning creativity and darkness at every scale.  A more comprehensive review later.
