I'm been struggling to find a single book that could keep my attention lately and this one, I couldn't put down.
It's not just that I'm a sucker for a non-linear timeline. The writing is profoundly lyrical and even though the subject matter is on the darker side, it is treated with elegant care. Yet, at the same time, it feels very down to earth. At its core, this is a story about how our stories define us and how we let our ideas about the truth shape who we become. This is definitely going to sit with me for awhile.
