Damnation Spring by Ash Davidson
4.0
I may round this up to 5. This is a gorgeous story, set to start in the year I was born. A community faces a crossroads between their livelihood and their lives. What do you do when your work is your identity, but your work is killing you and your family? How do you change when your livelihood depends on not changing?
This book is slow to start. With the benefits of hindsight the reader will come to certain conclusions before the characters do. In some cases the characters must be in denial until they cannot be.
But this book also has so many characters that were at first unlikable or at least not someone I would expect to like or agree with day to day that by then end, almost down to a man, I loved.
