FROM THE MILLION-COPY BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF WE ARE ALL COMPLETELY BESIDE OURSELVESYou can't save the world, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't tryWhen Lainey Miller's dad began believing in lizard people who sought world domination, her mom decided that Lainey needed to be a person who believed in verifiable data. So began a lifelong pursuit and love of science, of the beauty of the natural world and its wildlife.Through her work, Lainey finds stillness in a world humming with change, a world that she believes - despite the constant news cycle of destruction and cruelty - has an infinite capacity for kindness. A love letter to community, to learning, and to life itself, Karen Joy Fowler's new novella points towards the glimmer of hope on the horizon, urging us to stay for the view.

Recenzii

Beautifully lucid writing that captures the human ability to care. In Karen Joy Fowler's capable hands, hope for the future is alive and well
This is not a book about otters; it's a book about hope amid despair, about family despite loss, about the triumph of connection over estrangement and paralysis. If you are feeling desperate or lonely in today's broken world, this beautiful and sensitive book will help you remember your power to heal and protect our families, our friends, and our planet
Effervescent and smart, Otter Music trips along with pace, dealing with immense issues with an accessible, endearing and humorous touch. I loved the way such heartbreaking environmental concern has been weaved in so cleverly with the story of yet another one of the author's fabulously zesty and eccentric characters. Lainey is stunningly intelligent and beautifully naïve. Her struggles to reconcile herself to her father's abrupt departure work in elegant counterpoint to her realisation that world as she knows it is changing forever
Tender and beautiful, Otter Music is a perfectly crafted and deeply moving novel for our times - it offers no easy answers, and is all the more powerful for its realism, and its emphasis on how we can better care for our own small patch of this world
