This book is complex; complex characters amidst a dark and confusing time in history. Mystical and almost magical realism elements create  even more complexity. This brings up many questions, and doesn't answer any of them. It's also dark. Particularly living in America in 2025 as history seems to be repeating itself. It was a difficult read. But beautifully written.
