The overall story of the memoirist, an Indigenous woman in the Ecuadorean rainforests who grows up to lead an anti-oil-company challenge, is fantastic.
The way the story is told is very slow, and takes about 60% of the book to get to her environmental work. I nearly DNF’d, for the slow plot development r, but stuck it out.
The final story is ebullient, challenging and victorious. I just wish it hadn’t been a slog to get there.
