Description
The Worst Generation is character Jenny Alhouse’s indictment of her parents’ contributions to the contemporary world, their generational short-sighted and selfish degradation of economic and environmental well-being. Her recounting of childhood shows much she is thankful for - a stable, caring home, times kayaking with her father, family trips, a quality education, the benefits of prosperity. But she tells the story from her adulthood, and includes the things she could not see as a child: the economic and environmental plundering and inconsideration imbedded in her upbringing that leave her world unstable, uncivil, and unsafe.

A very engaging novel. The changing perspective of the narrator and the subtle way that the uniqueness of each narrator is present is well done. The flow of the story and the way the reader is drawn in and then along is well executed. I found that while some of the indictments seemed a bit harsh and skewed, they helped reveal emotional condition of the narrator. The conflicts and paradoxes of the characters and narrators made the story come alive. Given the current news about immigrants and hearing stories how moving from one culture to another is so difficult, this story of how the same kinds of transitions and challenges happen within the USA was both timely and well presented. How does one find a new moral compass when transplanted into a new culture that is so different? Hope the author keep exploring these kinds of stories and keeps helping us learn to see how seemingly different journeys might have surprising similarities.
