It flip-flopped between so many characters and then failed to tie up a few loose ends. I enjoyed the style but felt it was a 3 1/2 out of 5. Being a bit of a prepper probably" Read more of this review »

“We came to believe that we could concrete over the fields and design a better life for ourselves, free of nature’s wildness and uncertainties. But it’s very obvious now that this was the wrong way to go.”
