lafon's writing is unique, efficient, poetic — much of the painful themes of trauma and enduring, adjusting, love with its obstacles, silence and power, tradition, social structures, old n new, is made concise, tangible, real, with each character and their thoroughly crafted roles. each character is introduced with tact and purpose, and every storyline keeps the reader sharp and accountable — do you see how they, the small cog, still contribute to the mayhem? a splendid book, page-turner, a shimmery quilt held together by threads of guilt, forgiveness, and trauma.
a haunting almost comforting read for those who resonate with the pages; a necessary read for those who don't and would like to expand their literary inventory with realities perhaps untouched within this specific context
