An unusual and unsettling ecological disaster novel from Uruguay. It maintained a sense of unease while the real action all seemed to take place "off camera". Her relationships, her family and her environment everything in her life changing into things less stable, less predictable and less knowable and the need to try maintain stability when life is going to hell.

Dark. Dystopia about framing the pollution and hunger as our ultimate end. ( )

Pretty good. There was never any real explanation for the "red wind" but in the end it didn't really matter. This an environmental disaster novel that details the breakdown first of the affected city and then gradually spreading further out into nearby cities and the entire country. It's about the people who leave and the people who stay, those with money and those without, those with someplace to go and those who have nowhere. It's also about deciding what to do when the life you had and the future you planned to have, fall apart. ( )
