The Sunlight Pilgrims by Jenni Fagan
4.0
I received this from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
If you're looking for a straight apocalyptic story, you're looking in the wrong place. While climate change has led to temperatures dropping, icebergs moving towards population centers, and brutal winters looming, this only serves as the setting of the novel rather than the driving force. Instead, the novel is a great story about three individuals thrown together during these circumstances. The characters are richly developed (Stella, a transgender preteen is especially wonderful) and so realistic, dealing not only with a changing world, but dealing with love, death, and change.
Highly recommended.
