We Loved It All: A Memory of Life by Lydia Millet

challenging hopeful informative inspiring reflective relaxing slow-paced

4.5

An established fiction writer's first work of non-fiction can be hit or miss; exploring new things is always challenging. Despite this hurdle, Millet is able to view the world for all its nonsensical exuberance, beauty, and intricacies, and makes you realize just how fantastic our planet is. Her curiosity is immeasurable and the way she links motherhood, climate change, and her love of the natural world is breathtaking. If you speak to plants and animals like an equal other - read this book. If you are confused and saddened by the loss of our planet's biodiversity - read this book. If you are looking for a light in the dark - read this book.
