Isabel, a librarian interested in old things and the passage of time, who moves deliberately and thinks deeply, who loves vintage clothing and the imagined lives of strangers in faded photographs, felt incredibly relatable to me. Her introspective and slightly melancholy inner life made for the perfect last reading experience of 2023.
