Greetings!
A new month is upon us!
Here’s my reading highlight:
How High We Go in the Dark by Sequoia Nagamatsu
3 stars
This book was definitely better than I was expecting. It had all the ingredients of books that I’m not often intrigued by – climate fiction, science fiction and short stories.
The narrative felt a little too close to home, especially after the epidemic—of which we are still experiencing the effects—and the ongoing climate crisis. The manner in which characters flowed in and out of each ‘short story’ to create the full narrative over hundreds of years was brilliant. It highlighted the gravity of the Arctic plague. Nevertheless, the story was full of hope, and it did a great job of depicting humans’ resilience and adaptability.
