This is a treasure for people wanting to read some new myths. Surreal and beautifully translated, it explores a very little known culture's creation myth and then extrapolates through generations. The morality may feel a bit heavy-handed for today's audiences, but nevertheless the lessons here are important ones whose echo really should be getting louder during these days of climate change surrounding us.
