Unfortunately I had to DNF this one 20% in. I gave it a good go but the writing style just was not for me. There were a lot of instances where animals were mentioned that left me feeling very unsettled, and well as body horror which is not something I expected going in. I was initially intrigued in reading this one because i like climate fiction and am always down to read book that take place in Canada and written by a Canadian author. Unfortunately the writing style just was not for me, but I can tell the author has a very good grasp of story telling and a unique voice.

Delighted to include this title in the August edition of Novel Encounters, my column highlighting the month’s most anticipated fiction for the Books section of Zoomer, Canada’s national lifestyle and culture magazine. (see column and mini-review at link)
