An absolute triumph of writing, characterization, and execution. The first review I'm writing here, and for good reason. I think this is going to be my favorite of 2021.

What a literacy masterpiece and a debut novel too. I had to read this in small doses because there was just so much to be savored. The writing was absolutely beautiful. I’m still a little confused about the ending but I think this is a novel that needs to be read more than once.
