Read this if you love poetic ruminations on food, culture, esoteric violin composers and the tragedy of societies impact on the marginalized. Avoid this if you're looking for a book that convincingly delivers any of the plot hooks in the dust jacket synopsis. Like Becky Chambers this is a narrative that relies heavily on vibes, and that's ok, sometimes good vibes are what you need in a novel. But be advised, while the overall tone is hopeful, the journey to that point contains some really grim and visceral scenes involving the experience of one of the main characters. If extreme homo/transphobia and sexual assault are not for you, neither may this novel be.
