August 11, 2020 at 9:00 AM EDT Brace yourself for a book about the end of the world — but not the type with a high-octane hero saving the planet from annihilation. The time is in the not too distant future and almost every bird, fish, and wild animal is extinct. Need another excuse to treat yourself to a new book this week? The story explores the connection humans have to nature as it explores one of my favourite themes, loneliness, belonging and our need to find a connection. Every animal in the world is accelerating towards extinction. But when the wild she so loves begins to disappear, Franny can no longer wander without a destination. We have never needed a book more than “Migrations”, in 2020. The oceans have almost been fished empty. A woman with fierce determination embarks upon a journey to follow the birds as they make their dangerous flight. This year that has brought home to us all how much destruction we humans have inflicted on this earth, and how much more we have to lose if we don't start listening to the scientists. Charlotte McConaghy writes a phenomenal, unmissable, and original novel, emotionally charged, tragic, harrowing, haunting, an ode to the wonders of our natural world, set in the near future, an environment devastated and degraded by the impact of climate change, the mass animal kingdom extinctions and the hugely depleted seas and oceans.

There are no more elephants, tigers and lions gone, even crows are no more. August 4th 2020 DNF after 30+ pages and talking with a friend. Franny convinces the captain of the fishing boat. I don’t want to be uplifted or inspired. I don’t want to read happy books during the pandemic. She arrives in remote Greenland with one purpose: to find the world’s last flock of Arctic terns and follow them on their final migration. Franny Stone's mission is to track the final migration of the last Arctic terns from Greenland to Antarctica. The characters unfold gradually as does the character of the ocean. The shrink, is trying to (rather sarcastically) for, Probably adult, many concepts that younger readers probably would not understand. Too depressing for this time in my life and too much sadness about animals :(, 4.5 rounded up - This novel is author Charlotte McConaghy’s US debut, but this is not her first rodeo.
