Acerca de esta escucha

For fans of Station Eleven and Where the Crawdads Sing comes a hopeful, sweeping story of survival and resilience spanning one extraordinary woman’s lifetime as she navigates the uncertainty, brutality, and arresting beauty of a rapidly changing world.

Florida is slipping away. As devastating weather patterns and rising sea levels wreak gradual havoc on the state’s infrastructure, a powerful hurricane approaches a small town on the southeastern coast. Kirby Lowe, an electrical line worker, his pregnant wife, Frida, and their two sons, Flip and Lucas, prepare for the worst. When the boys go missing just before the hurricane hits, Kirby heads out into the high winds in search of his children. Left alone, Frida goes into premature labor and gives birth to an unusual child, Wanda, whom she names after the catastrophic storm that ushers her into a society closer to collapse than ever before.

As Florida continues to unravel, Wanda grows. Moving from childhood to adulthood, adapting not only to the changing landscape, but also to the people who stayed behind in a place abandoned by civilization, Wanda loses family, gains community, and ultimately, seeks adventure, love, and purpose in a place remade by nature.

Told in four parts—power, water, light, and time—The Light Pirate mirrors the rhythms of the elements and the sometimes quick, sometimes slow dissolution of the world as we know it. It is a meditation on the changes we would rather not see, the future we would rather not greet, and a call back to the beauty and violence of an untamable wilderness.

this book was so good, the writing and narration drew me in and made me feel everything the characters where feeling. the one thing that was disappointing was that the end was wrapped up too quickly. u invest and travel with Wanda thru all the hard times and when she finally becomes a adult the story skips ahead to the end of her life. I did feel denied all her adult adventures. this book should have been a series

This was a less fun book than the tittle indicated, but that’s great because this made me feel something and I was expecting nothing.

Great book; misleading name

Very good book It’s pacing was great and felt grounded in reality despite its interesting traits. I would recommend this book to other who want a more slow burn type of read.

As an enjoyer of apocalyptic and dystopian novels I enjoyed this book. It was erre to read about something so real like the effects of long term climate change, but still really interesting. I do wish more time was spent on exploring Wanda’s power and how she could use it and help others.

In recent years Florida, particularly South Florida, has experienced rapid growth along the East and West Coast. Slow but persistent rising water is already a problem for Miami with its sunny day flooding. Wealthy people have built large and expensive homes 100 yards from the edge of the Atlantic Ocean (look at a Singer Island). There are two storylines in this book: the drowning of Florida from rising oceans AND the story of Wanda who we meet at the time of her birth and follow throughout her life. Occasionally the author jumps back-and-forth in time creating minor confusion. As someone who is a seasonal resident in South Florida I have become over the past 20 years very sensitive to the issues raised in this book.

It is already happening

Fascinating story of a survivalist and a young girl finding their way in an ever changing climate in Florida.

Eerie rendition of our future world

how this author writes with such a degree of poignant and devastating reality is a wonderment. these characters will stay in my heart and float around in my head for a long time after I finished the book.

The story took my breath.
