About This Book

Lizzie Benson holds her life together with difficulty—a difficult brother, a husband, a child, a job as a university librarian—while becoming obsessed with the climate crisis. Told in fragments, aphorisms, and overheard conversations, Weather is a tender, anxious novel about the impossibility of caring too much in a world that seems bent on self-destruction.
