This book touches on social, political, and ecological issues, which the author portrays in a thoughtful way. I connected deeply with the characters, though it took a bit of time. Well written and thought-provoking, I give this book 4 stars.

I received this as a Librarything giveaway but it came as CD's not a digital audiobook as listed so I have not been able to listen to it. I'm still working on a way to get it to my digital library and will write more if I do.

I had a hard time following the storyline on the audiobook

I received the audiobook version of this novel from LibraryThing's Early Reviewers program. It's hard to say whether or not it was the format, but I just couldn't get into this novel. I listened to the opening twice and thought it was awkward. The principal narrative flowed better, but I found that the narration just didn't keep my attention. After a couple of hours of listening, I put this one aside.
