Truly magnificent! I am in awe of the author, I can’t imagine how she kept track of each strand, tying them together beautifully in the end.
The way this was written made what could have been a bit of a slog for me an absolute pleasure to read. Each tangent mimicking my own mind, so I found that I could get swept alway with the narrator without much effort on my part.
As with all of the very few “long” books I’ve got through, I’ll miss this book now that I’ve finished it!
