Helm

"Helm, a wind that blows through a region of England, is fascinated with humans, the strange animals that encounter and almost immediately anthropomorphize the wind and allow it to weave in and out of their lives. Sarah Hall spins a lively series of stories starring Helm, from a girl in the 1970s who is in love with the wind, to a man hell-bent on quantifying it and, finally, a scientist in the present day who slowly realizes that the very humans who created Helm’s personality may be the ones who bring about its end. Helm’s story, and those of the humans it observes, brims with emotion and delight and manages to wrap up in its small details weighty ideas about humanity, love and climate change."
