wow. what an incredible debut novel. blew through it in a day and wish I'd taken more time with it almost, but I'm sure I'll revisit this, especially Ms act/the last quarter or so. really brilliant and fresh and devastating

A haunting, fascinating exploration of grief and belonging; Monstrilio is not at all what I expected but I loved him all the same.
