would've rated it higher if not for the timeskipping back and forth between present and past. was not all that invested in the present day bits of the story, felt like a hindrance at some points.

corriejn's review against another edition

4.75

I was familiar with historical human Georgia Tann before, and found this to be both well-told story (or pair of intertwining stories-- one from the late 1930s and one modern-day) and specifically a compassionate, poignant humanization of how Tann may have impacted individuals.
