RavePloughshares... a must-read addition to the growing ranks of climate fiction, a genre that accepts climate catastrophe as the unavoidable context within which all modern stories unfold ... idiosyncratic and relentless, refuses to offer pat answers or to cash in on polarizing stereotypes ... Lizzie’s complexity reminds us: all you have to be to care about the world around you is human ... This type of birds-eye-view sweeps through the novel, jarringly woven into everyday anecdotes to stop you in your tracks again and again as the interconnectedness of our world is laid bare in your hands ... probes both our global environmental catastrophe and the uniquely American system that it is wrapped up in ... chilling, comforting, and funny ... Weather’s finely-wrought paragraphs are a collection of portraits, of individual truths and national anguish, curated by a quietly unravelling woman.
