challenging emotional tense slow-paced

4.0

Extremely dense, but beautiful in an abstract way. I initially felt the author was on a high horse, and may still feel that way, but the writing is undeniably from the heart and is very much a lived experience. Haunting in some ways, this book has managed to give me a new perspective, though I couldn’t quite say what that is.
