My heart ached with every page that I turned and I felt, at least a sliver, of connection with every character. Each person’s perspective/emotion is painted like a beautiful picture, my emotions those on the page. A reflection of how cruel time & society can be and the importance of blending tradition and conversation. I felt a lot of questions about my own & the joy and obligation of others, consistently rising in my mind.
