Hat mir gut gefallen #2025reads

Ich wollte eigentlich nur kurz reinhören, aber es hat mich gleich in seinen Bann gezogen. Mal sehen, ob es so weitergeht.

Noch bis Juni in der ARD-Audiothek: www.ardaudiothek.de/sendung/andr-kubiczek-nostalgia/13981611/

Nach fast einem Jahr mit langer Unterbrechung und anderen Verwicklungen doch noch fertig gelesen. Die Erfahrungsberichte haben mich ganz schön mitgenommen. #2025reads

The novel reminded me of "Parable of the Sower/Talents" at times because the way people react to climate change and the ensuing destruction of their livelihoods is the main focus. It's a lot less grim. I thought it was a very realistic take on how society would be like. It's set in Canada so their dystopia is also a bit nicer than the usual US based variant. Recommended for anyone into climate fiction.

I must admit, I kind of expected something different based on the title. I don't see the connection between "pirate" and the content of the book. It's not really an adventure book, either. I appreciate that the author tries to depict a realistic version of what will become of Florida (and other parts of the world) in the near future and that she follows the protagonist over the course of her whole life. In that sense, the book is quite interesting to climate fiction readers. The first part of the book felt rather cumbersome. I couldn't quite get into the book as if something was missing, though.

Ich finde das Buch schwierig zu bewerten. Es ist gut geschrieben und die Geschichte interessant. Entlang der Familiengeschichte reist man durch die deutsche Geschichte seit dem Kaiserreich. Es ist allerdings auch ziemlich verstörend und für Zartbesaitete eher nicht geeignet. Das Ende ist immerhin offen und bietet Platz für Hoffnung.

Quite the page turner. Intriguing concept #2025reads

I liked it despite some flaws #2025reads

Became available for 7 days. So far it seems a bit mean but I'm still at the beginning.
