This was a marvelous read; I wish it had been longer and stretched out in some parts. The mystery and magic were beautifully intertwined with the narrative voice (which was clever and spunky). Anyone with generational trauma that they are actively unpacking should read this book, it is an excellent meditation on the inheritance our elders leave us… while they’re living, when they’re dead, and when we are ready to wrestle with it.
