The Book of Flora by Meg Elison
5.0
Despite not being a trans woman myself - which is a big part of Flora's journey - I felt more connected to her than any of the other story tellers we meet in this series. I related so deeply to Flora's struggle as a woman unable to give birth herself, and her deep, deep desire to still find beauty, love, and a way forward in such a dark future along with the unending love she showed, even for people who had hurt her. I laughed imagining the modern LSD Church's reaction if they saw Meg Ellison's future version of their prophet.
I was overjoyed when we saw Eddie again and honestly, I cried at their reunion. And I was grateful, that in the end, Flora was allowed a place to grow old and was willing to sacrifice all of it for her people.
