A Children's Bible by Lydia Millet

Wow, what a read! A chilling, laser focused look at a society of young people facing ecological collapse. I’m not always big on present-day dystopia but this book handles it with such ease and attention to detail that I could not put it down. It also has some beautiful passages about mortality and collective responsibility to the world around you.
I did feel like the end was quite abrupt and left me with a lot of questions - who was the Owner? How did she know all that she did? What happened to Burl and the Angels? It left me wanting more, which I guess is a testament to the writing.
