A review by frasersimons
Clade by James Bradley
4.0
Normally I don’t like books that shift perspective so frequently but this book pulls it off nicely. It’s quickly apparent that the book is just snap shots of the life of a family as climate change is occurring. The ramifications to the planet, their environment, and the personal struggles in which they go through is crafted very well.
From short, snappy prose to flavour and colour scenes to no detail at all, there is a surprising about of empathy for the characters throughout. This book does a great job of pulling you into an individuals headspace and then being brutally honest about the outcomes.
While painter as overly dark, there is some light in it. I particularly liked the ending a lot and would recommend the book. If not for the ending it would have been 4 stars from me.
