God, what a devastating, beautiful, tragic read. The prose is gorgeous; Maggie O'Farrell paints such vivid, specific pictures. The past and present are interwoven with such care and craft, tipping back and forth between a younger Agnes and her present self.
I don't really have a lot of words for this one. It's such a striking portrayal of grief, of love and devotion and the absence that is formed from loss. It's just hit me in such a way.
