"Lastly I want to acknowledge the wild creatures of this earth and say that this book was written for them out of sadness and regret for those that have been wiped out and for love of those that remain. I truly, deeply hope that the world without animals depicted in 'Migrations' does not come to pass." ~ Charlotte McConaghy
I couldn't keep up with the tears at the end of this book.
It's so hauntingly sad and beautiful and scary ~ all at once. It has "staying power." Which means you won't be able to shake it even if you want to and that's not even a consideration for me.
If you're already concerned about the state of our planet, the parts of the story about being past the tipping point are terrifying. I definitely don't want to live in that world. According to scientists, our actions right now are already determining whether those dystopian parts of the novel remain fiction or become reality.
"It’s not really answers they want, it’s simply remembering what it feels like to love creatures that aren’t human. A nameless sadness, the fading away of the birds. The fading away of the animals. How lonely it will be here, when it’s just us."
Franny's story had me mystified, it's a slow reveal. She's a unique woman. A character unlike anyone I've read about or known. However, despite her originality, it won't be her that sticks with me down the road. It will be the messages about our planet and the natural world that resonate and impassion me the most.
I wholly enjoyed the book & highly recommend it...
