Why read it?
1 author picked Hopeland as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Hopeland is a masterpiece of magical realism: only a magician could have crafted such a book, and McDonald’s protagonists are thoroughly human and relatable, which makes them very real, their occasional electromancy and stormtalking (breathtakingly described) notwithstanding.
They live, love, grieve, and help save the world from the climate catastrophe (which, incidentally, is the reality that we are living right now), all the while revealing to you why the world deserves saving.
Beware: you, too, will weep, laugh, love, and end up wanting to help save the world.
