Dry is set during a severe drought when all the taps run out of water, and the communities affected do whatever it takes to stay alive. Reading this book for the first time during the COVID-19 pandemic and quarantine was incredibly bizarre to me. It’s astounding society can change so quickly, and if I had read this before current events, I don’t think I could have possibly related to it or understood it nearly as much as I do now.
Having said that, I think it may be triggering for some people to read this book right now, because the beginning chapters really, truly felt so similar to what we experienced toward the beginning of the year that it knocked me around a little.
For the story-telling, for the characters, and for the overall message, I can’t give it anything less than 5 stars. I was completely engaged from beginning to end.
