A review by tangleroot_eli
Slow Storm by Danica Novgorodoff

A deceptively simple book that's wrestling with a lot of big issues (sexism, racism, xenophobia, isolation and connection) under the surface. Novgorodoff excels at saying a lot in a few or no words. I didn't always like the characters' actions or believe the way consequences did or didn't follow from them, but the story and characters are so engrossing that I was still enjoying myself even while I wanted to shake some sense into pretty much everyone.
