Such a fascinating book, beautifully written and covering many important, yet challenging topics. What also stands out is that there are no points or exclamation marks, as well as direct dialogue - luckily I got accustomed to it after 100 pages or so.
Also massive respect for finding an immaculate way of connecting so many stories and characters ( you’ll get the relationships after a while)!
