This book took me a bit to get through. I felt like the shifting from past to present didn't work as smoothly as I would have liked. But, as someone who is trained as an archivist, I appreciate the way that archival research (and all its hiccups and oddities) was presented. The twists were really heartbreaking and well-planned.
