Clade by James Bradley

1.0

I was uncertain of what the book was about based on the description but I was curious. It turns out the description is vague because the book is. It's set up in sections that are told from the perspective of different characters and each section leaps forward in time, but it does a poor job of telling you who these people are. There was one point where I had the gender wrong for half the section because it gave me no info on who this person was and I thought it was a different character, the character narrating the prior section. And the whole "Ellie discovers an affinity for bees thing?" That was maybe 5 minutes of the book.

It did loosely hold Adam and Ellie in the overall stories but didn't really have a plot that I could find. It was a sad book, a tad bit frustrating (for the above reasons) but mostly very boring.
