Our House Is on Fire: Scenes of a Family and a Planet in Crisis by Malena ErnmanMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
Interesting family autobiography, largely from Greta's mother Malena (a celebrity in her own right in Sweden as an ex-Opera singer). Learning the full background to Greta Thunberg's rise to international prominence is made all the more amazing considering her struggles with Asperger's Syndrome made her almost mute and virtually unable to eat not long before her school climate strike in Sweden.
The more didactic elements discussing the climate crisis are enlightening but didn't really feel like they fitted in well with the rest of the somewhat fragmentary book.
