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.

Brief Summary The Light Pirate by Lily Brooks-Dalton

This book was relentlessly sad u til the very last moment, truly it starts sad and gets sadder and I’m not really sure how much more climate change literature I can take in. The ending of the book is very beautiful, and I wish that we had more time in that vignette of Wanda’s life, or really anything past the relentless sadness, but the grief is the plot, the winding path it takes through the flooded mangroves and swamps. This book would be interesting to read in a book club. There’s an interesting connection between Kirby “keeping the lights on” and Wanda’s own path that would probably make a decent high school essay. The characters in this book are very real, and delicately written so they don’t feel over-narrated to me, but seem to exist on their own. Good read, and honestly one of the better climate change novels I’ve read in the last couple of years.
