Heat and Light by Ellen van Neerven
4.0

A fantastic and interesting ride! This book is broken up into three parts/styles: a longer narrative about a family history, a speculative fiction involving plant people, and lots of 3-4 pages short stories that were SO impactful, it was almost overwhelming. My favourite was the speculative fiction, it was so so incredible and had so many layers. All of these stories centre different Aboriginal and Indigenous characters, and many many queer female characters/stories. It was so beautiful seeing queer love in a different culture, this book was very lovely!
