Heart-rending story about love, grief, and the bottomless toll that this life extracts from some. Absolutely beautiful prose. A brief glimpse at a woman whose generational grief and loss nourish the spirits around her. Arese's descent into hell and her journey to rise again.

I’m not ready to rate this yet. I struggled through it and I love the mystical. Maybe I just wasn’t in the right space. I’m going to come back and try again at a later date because it was beautiful enough that I feel like I’ve missed it. Adding a couple of her other books to my TBR in the meantime.
