A true force of a book that I read holding my breath from its start to its symphonic finish." -- Julia Fine , author of What Should Be Wild " Migrations is indeed about loss--but what makes it miraculous is that it is also about hope. Written in prose as gorgeous as the crystalline beauty of the Arctic, Migrations is deeply moving, haunting, and, yes, important." -- Caroline Leavitt , author of Pictures of You and Cruel Beautiful World "At times devastating and, at others, surprisingly, undeniably hopeful...Brimming with stunning imagery and raw emotion, Migrations is the incredible story of personal redemption, self-forgiveness and hope for the future in the face of a world on the brink of collapse." --Shelf Awareness, A Most Anticipated Book ( Entertainment Weekly, Vulture, Elle, Harper's Bazaar, Library Journal ) "[A] tantalizingly beautiful epic." -- Elle "You can practically hear the glaciers cracking to pieces and the shrill yelps of the circling terns." -- Vulture "[A] significant work of environmentally informed literature, both lushly written and heartbreaking." -- Library Journal "At a time when it feels like we're at the end of the world, this novel about a different kind of end of the world serves as both catharsis and escape." -- Harper's Bazaar "Transfixing, gorgeously precise...[The] evocation of a world bereft of wildlife is piercing; Franny's otherworldliness is captivating, and her extreme misadventures and anguished secrets are gripping." -- Booklist (starred review) " Migrations is as beautiful and as wrenching as anything I've ever read. This is an extraordinary novel by a wildly talented writer." -- Emily St. John Mandel , author of The Glass Hotel and Station Eleven "This novel is enchanting, but not in some safe, fairy-tale sense.
