3.0
Absolutely hate that I didn’t end up hating this by the end. Gobs of deeply sexist and ableist stuff in here, not to mention all the white people saying they need to become indigenous and then some v thin indigenous characters only showing up in the last 10 pages to help a white guy. Generally dismal, cynical view of people as opposition to nature that only kinda changed by the end. Richard Powers we’re BEGGING you to read Braiding Sweetgrass.

This really struck a chord in me as I read through it, from the seed to the canopy. I recommend this story to anyone who is passionate about trees, and is looking for a work of fiction to complement and stoke that passion a bit further. Well-written, full of imagery and natural things, and especially full of descriptive trees.
