"An optimistic parable about idealism, activism, and systemic corruption, centered on a naïve young woman's quest for agency in a world ravaged by climate change. Willa Marks has spent her whole life choosing hope. She chooses hope over her parents' paranoid conspiracy theories, over her dead-end job at a donut shop, over the rising ocean levels. And when she meets Sylvia Gill, renowned Harvard professor, she feels sure she's found the justification of that hope. Sylvia is the woman-in-black, an avenging warrior, the only person smart and sharp enough to wake up the world and force it to take action. But when Sylvia betrays her, Willa fears she has lost hope forever. And then she finds a book in Sylvia's library: a guide to fighting climate change called Living the Solution. Inspired by its message and with nothing to lose, Willa flies down to the island of Eleutheria in the Bahamas to join the author and his group of ecowarriors at Camp Hope. Upon arrival, things are not what she expected. The crew's leader, author Roy Adams, is missing, and the camp's public launch is delayed. With time running out, Willa will stop at nothing to realize Camp Hope's mission--but at what cost?"--… (meer)

I wanted to like it more than I did, as it commonly happens with cli-fi. It is probably because I want a book of this kind to be relevant, talked about, used for inspiration - a literary manifesto. Eleutheria is not it.

It is an attempted cautionary tale about the dissonance between the perceived authority and "true believers". It is a story about blind trust in people, but also persistence and instilling belief by setting an example.

There are many beautiful passages in this novel. I highlighted quite a few of them. The sense of the planet dying was palpable throughout the book.

However, somewhere around the 60% mark, I wanted to DNF it. I pushed through only to see what will happen, but I wasn't nearly as invested as I expected to be. The end was interesting enough for me to be glad I finished it, but it was still a disappointment. The characters are not well developed or very interesting, save for Willa, and even she doesn't grow very much either.
I felt the message about activism was somewhat muddled and world-building was quite weak, especially politically.

This would probably make a solid film with some rewrites and good actors. ( )

I refuse to believe anyone can be that naive.
