With gorgeous, evocative prose, THE NET BENEATH US welcomes readers into a bucolic, off-grid life that has been turned upside down for a young family. When her husband is the victim of a logging accident, Elsa needs to "keep on keeping on" as Silas would put it. For her, that means a challenging life lived close to the bone in an unfinished, off-grid life that requires tons of effort and skills to be learned, all while she's responsible for young children trying to survive grief. I loved the story's balance of being immersed in a very specific lifestyle while also being carried forward by the universal aches of loss, fear, determination, dedication. Elsa has to grapple with the biggest questions we can face, and watching her confront, make peace, conquer and grow is at turns harrowing and inspirational. The setting is an exquisite part of the story, a character in its own right, and I was left with a hunger to live farther from the grid and deeper into my own life as a result. Highly recommend!
