Weather by Jenny Offill
4.0
Weather by Jenny Offill is a short novel (right around 200 pages) told from the perspective of Lizzie Benson, an academic librarian who lives in the city with her husband and son. She also has a very co-dependent relationship with her addict brother. Lizzie takes up a job as a personal assistant for her former professor Sylvia. Sylvia has a podcast about the environment and gets lots of mail from both right-wingers and left-wingers.
I liked the book as it was full of lightly dark (does that even make sense??) humor and ponderings about the environment, climate change, and our impact on the world.
This book was named to the longlist for the Women's Fiction prize and we will find out this week if it will advance to the shortlist.
This book counts towards the Book Riot Read Harder 2020 Challenge Task #15: A book about climate change
