Slow Storm by Danica Novgorodoff
3.0
We follow our female firefighter in this story. She is fighting a fire at the beginning. She is bad-ass. A barn burns. An immigrant is living in the barn and now needs a place to stay. I'm not really sure what the book was trying to say. Is it about immigration? Is it about a firefighter? I felt confused by the book most of the way through. The whole time storms are raging all around and tornados are touching down in this Kentucky setting. Is the storm a metaphor for immigration? I have no clue.
The watercolors were beautiful in this book. It uses many mute and gray tones to set the tone as a storm. I was still intrigued by the book and I got into it toward the end. I would have liked to know more about our main character. This is a story that gives little and leaves it open to the reader to figure out what it says.
At least First Second takes risks and comes up with interesting and unusual topics. They are always unique stories told, good or bad.
