Thoroughly enjoyed. Her writing was a breeze to read, but the narrative style was complex and wonderful. I almost feel as if I've made this monumental journey with her, which is saying a lot considering how sedentary I am.

After adding the content warnings, I would like to say that ...

the part at the beginning about her mother's death from cancer was VERY emotional, like I wept -- but it was doable, and important to the rest of the narrative... But I truly wish I had never read the part about her mother's horse. If you are at all upset by animal death, absolutely skip that section -- as soon as she starts talking about going home in the winter and seeing how old & frail her mother's horse was. Skip it.
