Transition - A Story of Change

"This is a very rare animal, an eco-novel written well. Set in France at time when the Earth's climate is unravelling, it tells the story of a group of people who are struggling to make sense of their lives, build a small, self-sufficient community and prepare for a posttechnological world. Rather than being gloomy, it treats the exploration of a new way of living with optimism and joy. Encoded in the tale are metaphors about human and planetary evolution that would be familiar to students of esoteric psychology. The novel works. I read it cover to cover and enjoyed its style and structure and I didn't find it obvious or preachy. Worth seeking out." Maddy Harland, Editor, Permaculture Magazine
