Well written literary fiction that strikes an interesting balance between melancholy and more hopeful notes.
Definitely a slow burn and the side-by-side storylines in the beginning took me a while to get into but overall I really enjoyed this book.
What resonated most with me was the thread of yerba buena, flowers and other plants that winds its way through the novel.
