This is a truly beautiful book. Marketed as "Station Eleven meets Where the Crawdads Sing" perfectly describes this book! Separated into four parts and approximately a decade apart for each one, it centers around Wanda (named after the hurricane she was born during) and her life in rural Florida as it has been overcome with the results of climate change. Devastated by record-breaking hurricanes and abandoned by the rest of the country, those that remain learn to survive in a new area. This book was a look to a not so unrealistic future due to the effects of climate change and leaves the reader with a sense of fear and desire to do something about it. Wanda was so beautifully written & despite her constant loss, her adaptability to the ever changing environment and condition is truly commendable.
