Why read it?
1 author picked No Country for Eight-Spot Butterflies as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I love a book with a mix of big wonder and big sorrow. I read this book; no, I gobbled this book in one day, looking out over the Atlantic.
I cried big salty tears into the sea and laughed out loud with the ocean breeze. I learned about the untold histories of Guam and the constellation of people and experiences that make up a rich life. I felt the beauty and power of the indigenous culture of Guam and I grieved the many deaths caused by the collision of climate crises, politics and greed.
From Scarlet's list on being with and honoring death.
