Many thanks to NetGalley and Algonquin Books for gifting me a digital ARC of this haunting book by Silas House - 4.5 stars!
Set in the future with fires ravaging North America, Lark and his family find passage on a boat headed to Ireland. But it's a terrible journey with only Lark surviving. He is desperate to keep his parents' dream alive of settling in Glendalough, so he sets out on his own. He is soon joined by a dog, Seamus, and friend, Helen. This unlikely trio journeys on and makes a new family.
This is a haunting look at the possibilities of climate change and human behavior on our world in the future. I fell in love with Seamus - he will break your heart in so many different ways. This is a story of strength, perseverance and finding those who love us in the world, whatever that looks like. Fans of Station Eleven will love this book!
