Saci Lloyd The Carbon Diaries
Yeah. Diary structure. Good idea: charting the first year of carbon
rationing as the fractures in a family appear, repair, widen, heal. Not
aimed at my age group. Cross generational characters but seen through
the eyes of a teenager. It took time but the characters grew on me. And
there's nought like catastrophe for people pulling together. Read it in
an episodic way as life-stuff was intruding: indulged in others lives
falling apart. Gives a sense of how individuals might play things: find
out who they really are in the midst of the political attempts to
restore normality or introduce a new normal. Did Saci Lloyd pull it off?
I think so.
