Both a moving elegy for our suffering planet, and a persuasive call to arms to the next generation of possible changemakers. I loved this book , its threads perfectly calibrated with a masterful simplicity of tone and epistolary directness. A gift, not just for the author's daughters, but for all of us who want to replace ecocide anxiety with the glimmerings of a better future. Rawlence is too rigorous a journalist to suggest this will be easy, and too honest a writer to be anything but convincing.
