Sky Full Of Elephants was a truly fascinating book. Many parts were painful but there was a lot of beauty too.

The basic plot is that for an unknown reason, all the white people in America drowned themselves. The story mostly follows two characters, a man who was in prison until the event, and his daughter that he's never met, whose entire white family just drowned themselves. They come together mostly out of desperation and go on a journey together.

I was surprised at the science fiction parts and they were definitely the weakest part of the book. I think if the science wasn't gonna be a bit more fleshed out it maybe should've gone in a different direction ? But that's a small criticism for a book I truly loved. I'd definitely recommend picking it up.

Thank you to Simon & Schuster Canada for the advanced copy.
