Crooked Seeds: A Novel by Karen Jennings

dark emotional sad fast-paced

4.5

An uncomfortable, depressing novel set in near-future Cape Town, amid water shortages, wildfires and other climate related challenges.  The main character is unpleasant, difficult, and bitter, but I was not without sympathy.  This short novel is very engaging and layered with spare writing.  Despite the depressing storyline and extremely unlikeable main character, I really liked this book.
