The Annual Migration of Clouds

Holly says: Reid, a young woman in Alberta who is infected with mysterious mind-altering fungi, must choose whether to care for her mother and community or escape to one of the final remaining climate refuges that offers a life unchanged by a changing earth. Instead, she chooses a third option, and takes a chance on a risky mission that, if successful, would secure the future for her loved ones. Set against a stark landscape, Mohamad infuses hope into this tale of community care in the midst of collapse. This novella introduced me to the Aurora Awards, an annual award for the best science fiction or fantasy from Canadian authors, which I’ll now be keeping a close eye on for future additions to my TBR list.
