The Light Pirate by Lily Brooks-Dalton
5.0

Wow! Just wow. That was the best book I have read in a long time. I don’t always love character-driven stories but this one had more layers to it and I loved every second of it. This is the story of a woman as she grows up in a future Florida that has been ravaged by hurricanes and flooding due to global warming and how she manages to make a life there. There’s an element of magical realism as well, which of course I loved. This story is painful and beautiful and ultimately a story of resilience and hope. And a portion of the proceeds from the book go to the Indigenous Environmental Network, which I think is great.
