#bookreview The Past is Red by Catherynne M. Valente.

Hello and welcome back to the blog today I will be reviewing The Past is Red by  Catherynne M. Valente.




Published July 20th 2021 by Tordotcom

The Past is Red is both a post apocalyptic and a coming of age story. 

The world as we knew it is gone, there is nothing but blue ocean and garbage. . We didn't listen, we just wasted and abused until there was nothing left. The fu*kwits who just waste and waste, destroying everything, using up all the Earths recourses. 

And Tetley our mc, is one of the many humans that living their life in Garbagetown, she's never known and other way. She was born a few generations after the world went to hell.

She's alone and every day she get's belittled, cursed at, beat and she has to take it. It's the law, she did something that no one can forgive, she took away their hope. She doesn't see it that way because Garbagetown is the most beautiful place on Earth. 

This be it small packs a punch. I felt as if I had a lump in my throat the whole time reading it. Climate change is happening, we are using up the worlds resources. We are killing the planet daily. This heartbreaking and I just don't understand why people just seem to not care, or chose to ignore it. 

Wonderfully written, full of emotion. 

Thank you to Macmillan-Tor/Forge, Tordotcom for my copy.
