I am the last person to read, let alone recommend, a multi-pov, multiple time period book. However. Stellar read! Immediately engaging, well interwoven narratives (and all of them are actually interesting!) fleshed out characters.

“Stranger, whoever you are, open this to find what will amaze you.”

A heart breaking, heart warming look at how small we as humans are, and yet we are still deeply, unfailingly interconnected. I hope that as both the beauty and the horror of this world, humanity continues.
