This one is an actual, real life novel, and does not pull anything. There is horror and joy here, and all the vagaries of a lived life with characters full of pockmarked flaws, and the book does nothing to explain them to you or make them seem somehow *justified*; they *are* that way the way people are.

There is meaning and beauty in longing, and that’s what this book is about.
