I put ‘character driven’ but really this was place driven, the many voices that make up the chapters include living and spirit humans, mythical beings, plants, animals, and mountains/storms, all in one area centered around probably 50ish years. You follow a few plots through the eyes of the people/places/objects who speak in what I found to be a moving and beautiful meditation on time, connection, place, love, and loss. I really enjoyed the framing and found it a beautiful read, though I suspect not all will.
