This was a hard read. So much to unpack. A deeply moving book about ethical and moral dilemas.

“All her life, she had learned that passion, like fire, was a dangerous thing. It so easily went out of control. It scaled walls and jumped over trenches. Sparks leapt like fleas and spread as rapidly; a breeze could carry embers for miles. Better to control that spark and pass it carefully from one generation to the next, like an Olympic torch. Or, perhaps, to tend it carefully like an eternal flame: a reminder of light and goodness that would never—could never—set anything ablaze. Carefully controlled. Domesticated. Happy in captivity. The key, she thought, was to avoid conflagration.”

Oooh this one ended up fascinating me. Took me a minute to connect with the story but once it picked up, I NEEDED to know what would happen! The way everything connected was so good and definitely gets you thinking.
