Poetic and introspective from the opening lines. Shows the issues faced in modern life trying to juggle work, family, life while maintaining an educated opinion on what’s going on. A powerful read in a world that’s focusing on the climate crisis and what may happen. Somewhat reminiscing of JM Coetzee in her style of prose. Beautiful stream of consciousness prose which demonstrates the struggles we face when trying to balance life, family and relationships.
