I really liked this book. It was different from what I normally read; but I found it interesting and easy to get into;. I expected a full satire, and although it is definitely a comedy, it is subtle enough and full of facts and real issues. I know about global warming but little about local issues and consequences of it, and this was a good way to get more knowledge about it and about the social inequalities that global warming also causes. The characters were well-developed and kept me interested in the plot. Clever book.
Set in Canada this light hearted humorous tale immerses itself in a small community that has had its economy devastated by a massive deduction in Salmon numbers as a result of man made climate change.
The colourful characters and the satirical take down of the government’s approach to responding to Climate Change are both a joy to behold.
As the story continues I found myself rooting for the community of Esh and was not disappointed.
If you want a light story that still packs a punch about the Climate then you will enjoy this, a very enjoyable read, 4/5.
Thank you NetGalley for an ARC in return for a fair review.
Quite an enjoyable read. I don't read much satire, but this was well done. I enjoyed the whole package -- characters, plot, dialog, etc. I hope the author writes another book soon.
Thanks very much for the review copy!!
