Wow. Beautifully written. My first book by this author and I am anxious to read another. The way she understands the complexities and layers of relationships. She portrays the beauty and the flaws of each so vividly. It's absolutely fascinating.  Not to mention the deep dive into colonialism, racism and greed and the way it infiltrates and affects everything.  Brilliant brilliant book!!
