Enjoyed this a lot, but I can’t help but think the parables could have been reeled back a bit - ultimately they take up about a third of the book, and are either too clearly reflective of the narrative, or too obtuse.

A story about paving your own path while keeping a delicate string tied to where you came from. A tale of how religion and fundamentalism can poison your past, misalign your present and jeopardize your future.
