Oh I just never would have picked this up of my own accord but it was a book club pick so I read it for that and what a treat for me. Beautiful writing. Really puts you in the story with mood and setting in a way that feels like the words are swirling around you and carrying you along. Lovely comments on finding common ground, gaining empathy, and addressing parts of yourself perhaps hidden by other distractions.
