This, and I do not say this lightly, is perhaps the most beautiful book I’ve ever read. MacFarlane’s writing is all-consuming, wholly evocative, and made me feel a deep sense of peace and warmth unlike anything I’ve read before. A book you will want to take your time with. It’s unsettling, encouraging, yearning, enraging—it will make you question everything we have ever done to nature. 

I can’t possibly wrap up everything I feel about this book in one review. Gorgeous, heartbreaking, one of the best books I’ve ever read.
