    “Another thrift find...sort of dystopian, sort of realistic, and a beautiful depiction of human-ness.”

    “Found this book through Rec League… outside my regular comfort zone since I usually avoid apocalyptic stories. But it pulled me in, then knocked me out.”

    “Dystopia but make it cozy. This book is equal parts adventure, tragedy, nature walk, and a love letter to community. Not to mention, Leif Enger’s writing is a delicious trail of treats.”
