I want to buy the physical copy so I can read it again when I've had time to let it simmer.

I loved this book. I really, really loved it. Somehow it manages to magnify individual lives and span across multiple universes, tied together by spider webs. It’s left me feeling reflective about life, death and family…it’ll hang around in my consciousness for a while.

Graphic illness-related death, including frequent child death. The "dystopian" aspects of the boon hit a little close to home after COVID, so if any of this is a potential trigger, I would pass on this one. This is a gorgeous book and worth the read for many, but doesn't shy away from it's dark themescms204's review against another edition
