I did not expect to love this. It was read by Julia Whelan which was a good sign though.
It was very Pachinko-esk, but with fewer generations. I cried at the end. It was messy and complicated and full of love and grief. Just an overview of life for a random disjointed family that has suffered tragedy and seen amazing things happen.
The amount of content warnings in a story like that though - woof. It is looonnnnngggggg.
