There is plot here, but it's mostly character-focused. An exploration of love and loss and how words can travel through time without you even realizing it, changing someone else's life. And it has a bit of a book within a book, so if you like that kind of thing, you'd like this one.
The ending...I actually really liked the ending. It doesn't necessarily tie all the loose threads together, and it even unties some that you thought were secure, but it made me pause and think and feel something. Which is all I usually want from a book.
I read this for my book club (the Book Club of Troublesome Women) and I'm looking forward to our discussion on it! I feel like there will be much to say about this book.
