I loved this book! It took me a bit to get into it at the beginning, but it was a beautiful blend of lighthearted, serious, heartrending and hopeful! There is an array of  diverse characters, but hammers home the idea that there is more in this world that unites us than divides us. Highly recommend this book!

Surprisingly wonderful, if a tad bit predictable. Big fan of the character created in the titular Iona Iverson, and Sanjay is my favorite of the train crew.
