A short but powerful novel that conveys so much. It is painful and heartbreaking to read but brilliantly executed.
The novel consists of two narratives, set 50ish years apart, each with its own distinct feel, writing style and point of view.
The two halves contrast and complement each other, and together they create a really impactful novel. So much to digest and reflect on.
