This book moved me! A novel written so poetically touching on the secrets kept within a family. 

It  questions whether we truly know the people we call our loved ones and the characters journeys of self discovery. Often dark at times but embodies the nature of reality.

Themes explore were interesting and I enjoyed the way they were unpacked but the main character is irritatingly naive.
