I always struggle to write reviews for the books I like. This was an incredible reading experience. The characters were all so complex and real. The commentary was woven in well - it's not subtle, but when you're whole book is about a topic, you should expect the theme to be explicit. If you don't mind the sometimes jarring footnotes, the audiobook is beautifully narrated as well.
