This was an absolutely beautiful book. It reads closer to poetry or verse than prose. The non-chronology weaves in a way that makes the story much greater than its plot. The audiobook was beautifully read and I look forward to a reread very soon.

An interesting window into three generations and their perspectives on love, family, and grief, drawing parallels across time. Despite the many different perspectives and time jumps, this was a quick read and did not feel confusing or unmoored, which can happen if there are too many voices and time periods. I think it helped that the book was strongly character-driven.
