Kantolope reviewed Hearth by Annick Smith
The Epitome of "Hit or Miss"
3 stars
This is an anthology of short essays about the importance of community, environment, and centering oneself, which I'd normally be super into, but the quality varies wildly. You can finish up the most profound essay on how connection with nature is essential to connect with your community and how both make life better, followed up with an essay about how Singapore's dictatorship isn't that bad actually because they make the trains run on time. Overall, I'd recommend it, but only just, because the highs tend to outweigh the lows.
