Reviews
As bewitching, unflinching, wry, and profoundly attuned to the state of the planet as ever, supremely gifted Millet tells a commanding and wrenching tale of cataclysmic change and what it will take to survive.--Donna Seaman
Eco-fiction dystopias often make our climate future outright calamities of tidal waves and massive tree die-offs. Millet...knows what's coming is likely to be more subtle, and the slow-motion collapse she imagines in her latest novel is what makes it so harrowing.--Mark Athitakis
This superb novel begins as a generational comedy...and turns steadily darker, as climate collapse and societal breakdown encroach. But Millet's light touch never falters; in this time of great upheaval, she implies, our foundational myths take on new meaning and hope.
[D]arkly funny and painfully sharp.--Carolyn Kellogg
Millet mordantly captures the complacency of older generations in the face of apocalypse, and the righteous anger, endurance, and practicality of the young.
[C]ompellingly written, compact [and] slyly funny.--Jeffrey Ann Goldie
Blazingly witty.
[A] blistering little classic...Millet's wit and her penchant for strange twists produce the kind of climate fiction we need: a novel that moves beyond the realm of reporting and editorial, a story that explores how alarming and baffling it feels to endure the destruction of one's world. Take this book, eat it up.--Ron Charles
To call it a generational allegory seems like an understatement. Millet is one of the most fascinating novelists working.
[A] tense, prophetic...[and] gripping page-turner.--Donna Bettencourt
If you think it's hard to find original voices in contemporary fiction, you're not really reading properly--Millet is one such voice: comic, erudite, humane.--Jonny Diamond
