Weather by Jenny Offill

3.0

---

A slice of modern urban life with the twin fixations of Global Warming and the coming of the Trump era. There is no plot but instead the thoughts of a young mother, sister, wife, daughter and her job at a university library that allows her the time to read up any idea she comes across. A look at the anxiety that exists in today’s society regarding the danger to our natural world from decades of unregulated industry and to our political system from increasingly violent and unhinged players. Weather also shows how we find ways both productive and not to distract ourselves from continual worry.
