Solnit is a wordsmith with a gift for exploring roses, politics, climate change, beauty, truth, and George Orwell in a way that overlaps and merits a lot of reflection from the reader. I nearly gave this book a 5-star rating for the section “Retreats and Attacks”, which I will carry with me for the rest of my days. However, sometimes I felt Solnit might've jumped around a little too much. Overall, I loved this book and I hope other readers love it as much as I did.
