Where to start to unpack this novel…
Superficially: the dog at the fire station reminded me of the automata from Rachel Caine’s series “The Great Library”
A little deeper: alternative history “facts”…”Established in 1790, to burn English-influenced books in the colonies. First Fireman: Benjamin Franklin.” (32)
This hits a little closer to home in 2025. Trump’s administration stripping history to tell his version of the past, using DEI as a weapon against our collective memory.
Thought provoking: when we stop asking “why” we lose the threads of our past, our heritage, and ultimately our future. Our memories preserve the past. Our collective records make those memories visible to all. Viewing the past through rose colored glasses serves no-one.
Lesson learned: history should be objective, without bias, without a clouded vision of the future.
