It’s clear to me why this is a classic. This was beautifully written. The author tells the story of Janie’s life through a story within a story format along with some brief vignettes from the MCs past. The story is melancholic and reflective. It was a pleasure to watch Janie in all of her iterations in different chapters of her life. Gorgeous book.
