This author has consistently given me 5* reading experiences and this did not disappoint. I felt for all of the characters in this novel. The themes of isolation, climate change, grief, and forming connections worked well in this.

Compelling and atmospheric. I agree with some of the other critiques of the themes of female sacrifice running through the whole novel -- for a novel that speaks so much against how females are only good for their sacrifice and having children, there's a lot of that happening even for the strong feminist archetypes. While I realize this may be to speak to the spectrum that can exist within womanhood... I still felt the ending was a disappointment from that angle. ...more

Book club pick. This was very interesting. The family was intriguing and the idea of an island to hold all the world’s seeds is creative. I can’t say I truly liked the way the book ended however I am also not unsatisfied. Looking forward to the discussion with the book club!
