A review by mysterefantasy
Fauna by Christiane Vadnais

5.0

A strange, terrifying, lush, gorgeous telling of the end of life as we know it. The results of humans’ failure to care for Earth finally manifest themselves. This is a hard book to read because the author doesn’t tell her tale with the traditional cataclysmic end – rather her ending begins with a rainstorm and gathers strength just as the storm does. Vandais has chosen her words carefully and precisely and the result is a book told in such a sumptuous manner that her readers may become engrossed in her language skills rather than the story itself.

My thanks to Coach House Books and Edelweiss for an eARC.
