incredibly intelligent writing. this book is  in conversation with proust’s à la recherche du temps perdu, and tackles inter-generational feelings, the crashing of the past with the present cross-continentaly, time and memory. very layered, gripping and the narration controls your sense of time and space. absolutely stunning.
