Without a doubt one of the best books I have ever read. Wholly magnificent. I love how quickly the plot trips on, without the thread being lost. I love how easily the chapters connect to each other from what you know of the parent, which lets you start each story in the middle. I love the parallels and contrasts. I love how it made me consider things I had never thought of. I love how it effortlessly demonstrates the weight of losing family lineage, and how having family to lean on is such a strength. I’m obsessed.
