The Foretelling of Georgie Spider by Ambelin Kwaymullina

5.0

The final book of The Tribe trilogy is amazing. Told in two voices (Ahala and Georgie's memories given to Ashala), it is a moving, emotional and heart-wrenching in many ways. As the author notes at the end of the book, while this is framed within a sci-fi/fantasy dystopian context, it mirrors the real world, past and present. Hate and fear are all too real, as is the over-consumption and misuse of natural resources. If only we had the ability like Ashala to dream compassion and the sense of connectedness with the planet into everyone around the globe. It may not be as simple, but being an example through living with compassion for others, respect for the planet, can make the world a better place. Small actions cause ripples, as Georgie's webs and visions of the futures demonstrate multiple times throughout the books.
