An interesting experiment. It's almost a long form poem, about lives detached from society and somewhat entwined in rural ecology, disintegrating happily in isolation. There are some beautiful, memorable passages. I've never read anything like it!

I appreciate the detail of what everyday life actually is. Plastic bags on the back of the door accumulating, things you might get done someday. Gardens and wood rot and the progress of mud puddles.

I don't appreciate how apolitical and white-washed it is.

Do not read if you are OCD or at all anxious about mess, some of the details will get stuck in your head in a bad way.
