I had stopped reading this about a quarter in for months because I couldn’t get past the patchwork of stories—picked it up yesterday and couldn’t put it down again. A fantastic tapestry of coincidence and human-ness and hope and also deep pain but sheesh. I’d say stick with it, it’s worth it, even if (and this may be unpopular) I could have done without the transcription of cloud cuckoo land interspersed throughout. Wowow
