It’s a rare but beautiful thing when you find an writer that speaks to your heart and mind so much that you just know they’ve become one of your favourite authors, on the basis of only one book! Migrations or The Last Migration as it is also known is that kind of book. And a huge hug and thank you to bestie @tarheelreader for introducing me to this author. Consider me now officially obsessed! This is the story of Franny Stone in a world not too distant or impossible from our own where many species of wildlife are dying out or have become extinct already. Franny is on a mission to follow the Arctic terns on what might be their last migration to Antarctica. As we follow her journey, it soon becomes clear that Franny might be escaping something in her own life. When her story begins to emerge, she must struggle to find redemption. This book has everything I could want from a novel and stands proudly within a new kind of genre - environmental fiction - is it a thing? If it is, I’m here for it. One of my great passions is animals and to have a story where they play quite a central role was really beautiful. Not only is this a gorgeously descriptive novel but you have the added bonus of a mystery regarding our female lead and the dark secrets from her past. I found myself completely gripped, totally immersed in Franny’s world and it just left me wanting more. More of the writing, more animals, more environmental awareness. Signed, sealed, delivered - I’m a huge fan.
