What is love? What is desire? How long does it take for desire to morph into “love”? Fewer novels have shown how absurd, unforgiving, rabid, and merciless love can be than “This One Sky Day”. How love can and often reeks damage to its surroundings as it blossoms, withers, and blossoms again.

Set on the islands of Popisho where every person develops cors (a magical gift), this astonishing story walks you through the lives of mainly four characters as they navigate their past and contend with their present internal conflicts in the midst of imminent political upheaval.

i named my new music project moth eater in honor of what spoke to me the most about this book: the ways we harm ourselves, how we overcome it with love

i haven't loved a book this much in years—wish this went on forever & ever, i don't want to leave it
