"[A] profoundly affecting meditation on what it means to live through climate change. . . . In scintillating prose, Millet makes a passionate case that humans must own up to their responsibilities to each other and the natural world . . . . Mournful and piercingly beautiful, this will stick with readers long after they finish the last page.-- ""Publishers Weekly (starred review)"" I love reading Lydia Millet, delight in the pithy observations of her all-seeing eye, and suspect her many admirers will be smitten with this deep-time story of our immersion in Earth's wild creatures and our hapless modern attempts to escape nature.--Dan Flores, author of Wild New World and Coyote America Millet's awe of nature is catching, even as it lives alongside the grief of our everyday destructions.--Eliza Smith ""Literary Hub"" In turns heartbreaking and inspiring, We Loved It All reminds us to hold every being dear at a time when we all need love more than ever.--Amy Brady ""Literary Hub"" An altogether unique book that allows you to watch a gorgeous mind at work. There is, quite apart from the magic of her writing, not a single page where you won't learn something new. We Loved It All will leave you breathless.--Jeffrey Moussaieff Masson, author of Lost Companions and When Elephants Weeps Lydia Millet's novels have always worked on me like a drug; her tenderly sardonic voice and the command of her uncanny narrative velocity keep me turning pages like burning through a bag of chips without stopping to lick the salt off my fingers. We Loved It All will break your heart.--Jonathan Lethem, author of Brooklyn Crime Novel We have all been the beneficiary of Lydia Millet's eloquence and imagination through fiction. But now she gives us a different kind of story. A story of stunning attention, truths, and urgency, We Loved It All is an ode to the creatures we live among: finned, feathered, furred, scaled, and rooted...This is a rigorous, evocative, brilliant bow to life, even as the world burns. Please read this transformative anti-memoir that shows us a way forward.--Terry Tempest Williams, author of Erosion: Essays of Undoing Lydia Millet's We Loved It All is at once lyrical and densely packed, intimate and all-encompassing. It beautifully captures the current moment, in all its terrors and possibilities.--Elizabeth Kolbert, author of The Sixth Extinction"
