The writing in this book is delicious. A sweeping novel about humanity, nature, and it's intersections, it's an important book for anyone who cares about climate justice. The middle section of the book is a bit of a slog, but worth it for the beautiful ending. Overall, this book is more about vibes and the writing than the plot, but a worthwhile read all the same.
