This is a heartbreaking work that, while fiction, is all too relevant in current times with discussions of climate chance. Which is part of what makes it so important.

The story takes place in two different times - 2017 and 2041, and in 2041, the man and his daughter who are the main characters in that portion of the story are without true rain for a number of years, and are climate refugees. I enjoyed reading about all of the different relationships in this story, and I would recommend it, even if it only partially sparks an interest. I do not want to give too much away, but I will say she has a strong grasp on storytelling and language, both of which elevate and make more enjoyable this difficult topic. This book has made me want to go out in search of her first book, which I have seen in bookshops but have not yet read.

On a superficial note, the cover that appears on this e-Galley is beautiful, too.

Thank you to HarperCollins Publishers and NetGalley for the chance to read this book!

The End of The Ocean was so intriguing on netgalley that I prayed I was granted an ARC. I doubt I will explain the premise succinctly so please read the official blurb. . This book deals with such serious issues that will cause you to be forever changed after reading it. You will feel despair and hopelessness on how the earth is being treated and destroyed. This is not a fairytale; it is foreshadowing on what will happen if we don’t change how we treat our planet. It will destroy any preconceived notions you have about climate change, the destruction the earth is facing and the repercussions humans will face sometime in the not far future. Yes, it is a work of fiction but you will read it as non-fiction and even a biography of Signe and David. You will feel their despair and loss in your soul. I feel like everyone should read this book since climate change is one of the most important sociopolitical issues in the world right now. This book will open your eyes and heart...and maybe light a spark of action to anyone who reads it. I was granted an ARC in exchange for my honest opinion.
