“Sometimes, a person reaches a point in their life where it becomes absolutely essential to get the fuck out of the city”
With lines like this, I was always gonna like this book.
This is almost a short story honestly, with some utterly beautiful passages about life, meaning and fulfillment, and I only wish it had been a bit longer and more developed as the idea and the world here are great!
This is a slightly dystopian world where everyone strives to live in balance with nature and monks go around with tea carts making people custom blends..... but sometimes you need to leave it all behind to observe “that which has no design” too.
Like seriously - Becky Chambers has been added to the (very short) list of authors whose work I will read every time.
