I love you Blandine Watkins
I actually really loved this. Plus, any incorporation of Hildegard of Bingen into a contemporary story is worth getting excited about.

this book is undeniably interesting. totally bizarre but completely down to earth. wonderfully written and narrated. characters and a plot that feel so gritty and real they could have been plucked from your own life yet like a silhouette of a performance of personhood. i’m obsessed.

It was too heady for me. I didn’t care about anyone in the book.

I love a book that gets me to sink neck deep into the characters subconscious. This did that. I’m sure there was a thread running through all the themes but I just didn’t get it.
