Review: Weather

Weather Weather by Jenny Offill
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Really wonderful; witty, frightening and free ranging with its finger definitely on the contemporary pulse. Reminded me of Ali Smith's Seasons Quartet, equally short yet perfectly formed. An early contender for best of 2020.

Edit: Re-read as will be writing an essay about this and how it handles the Climate Crisis. Still just as readable and rich. Lots of interesting ideas about time which I missed on first read, and also the personal burdens we deal with.
