Wild Dark Shore
By Charlotte McConaghy
This month we're reading Wild Dark Shore. A woman washes ashore on a remote island near Antarctica where a family is guarding the world's last seed bank. It's part mystery, part love story, and part meditation on what we choose to save when we can't save everything. Charlotte McConaghy writes about nature and loss in a way that will wreck you and heal you in the same chapter. Read it with us.
