"compulsory reading. You will never again find a narrative pattern that makes you feel like a reader, spectator and defendant at the same time in such a sensitive way" @BarfussAK #ClimateActionNow @OdysseyBooks

"Court of the Grandchildren is a highly intriguing story that could go on for 1000 pages and you'd still be hooked" @bookloverlorna #ClimateAction @OdysseyBooks
